Last year crowds loved the Treasure Island performances which were a sell-out. One happy customer said: “We attended the show at Cobtree today and I wanted to say how brilliant it was. The effort of the performers and how much they enjoyed it was clear. The humour was brilliant. My daughter and her friend loved it. So did us mums. I hope they will be back soon.”
Cllr Stephen Thompson, MBC Cabinet Member for Healthier Stronger Communities in Maidstone said:
“What better way to spend a beautiful summer evening out than in one the stunning locations around the borough, seeing a really entertaining outdoor performance. Great for all the family to enjoy! Tickets are really reasonably priced too, at just £5 each or £15 for a family of four.”
Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) has teamed up once again with the Hazlitt Theatre and Parkwood Theatres to bring this thrilling story to life in a summer open air tour. The tour is part of the Hazlitt’s initiative to make performing arts accessible and affordable for all in the local area.
Hazlitt Theatre Tour Director, Jenny Longley said:
“We encourage families to bring their picnics and blankets to enjoy a show that we hope will make you laugh! It is different from a lot of traditional theatre because we like to keep the atmosphere really relaxed and family friendly.”“Keeping the tickets at an affordable price is really important to us at the Hazlitt Theatre as we know how expensive live events can be for families - we want everyone to be able to experience this Summer tour. But be careful of those cheeky actors and your food! We always love to see those who dress up as their favourite characters too!”
