Sit back and relax in ACT 2 which is seated for the shows finale.

ACT 1 of this show will be performed in promenade. We are really excited to share this unique style of theatrical experience with you. The audience are guided by the actors between different areas on the farm, so you feel totally immersed in the action. It is a bit like walking around different Museum exhibits. Standing/walking during ACT 1 will be for approximately 30 mins. The amount of walking between the areas will only be a few metres at a time. You can stand, sit on the grass or perch on a portable chair at each stop. Each “stop” lasts for around 5 minutes. The final scenes in act 1 all take place around a “firepit” where there are plenty of haybales for audience to sit on to watch the action. We will then have an interval and invite you to park up for ACT 2 which will be seated underneath the cover of a giant tipi tent.
At every performance, there will be drinks and snacks available to purchase before the show, during the interval and after the show from our Theatre on the Farm Bar.
At the Friday Evening, Sunday Matinee and Sunday Evening Performances you can pre-purchase Pizza’s from The Wheatsheaf Kitchen pizza van. Please make sure you arrive with enough time before the start of the show to collect your pizza. Doors open 1.5 hours beforehand.
At the Saturday Matinee and Saturday Evening Performances you are welcome to bring your own picnic to enjoy before, during and after the show.
Toilet facilities will be available at various locations on site.
Although there is no explicit language in the Shakespearean text the performance does include a number of Pop songs where the language is suggestive and includes euphemisms. Children and infants are welcome to all our performances, however because it’s Shakespeare, the text and content may not be suitable for children to enjoy.
There is parking available on the farm. We will endeavour to sign post clearly and have marshals to assist you. However, please note the entrance to the farm is a little hidden from the busy Long Crendon Rd. The farm is also reachable on foot or by bike from Thame, just be mindful when crossing the busy roundabout.
Just like any open-air theatre we embrace the weather as audience and actors. We will not cancel, refund or pause a show because of rain. In the event that the weather becomes dangerous for our actors we will postpone the start time of the performance. If we have a wild tempest during the performance we will simply pause the show to allow the weather to settle, offer you shelter and resume where we left off.
