Adventure awaits in Sunderland’s parks and Alnwick Castle this summer as the Plays in the
Parks triple bill returns!
Audiences (sorry
‘Adventurers’) are set to be spellbound once more, as Theatre Space North East,
the innovative theatre company who have been transforming Sunderland’s open
spaces into 3 epic stages, return with another programme of summer events.
Following the huge success of last year’s extended season
which took in a trip to the magnificent Alnwick Castle, the Plays in the
Parks/Plays in the Castle kicks off another blockbuster summer this July.
Our roving band of storytellers are back with a whole load of adventures
for the entire family. From the epic battles of Henry IV in Roker Park, the
hilarious adventures of one of Britain's most revered heroes, Robin Hood in
Mowbray Park and the delightfully charming Much Ado About
Nothing in Barnes Park, Expedition Control are poised to take you on unforgettable excursions
through Sunderland's beautiful parks and open spaces.
Our
unique brand of storytelling places you right at the heart of the action as
epic battles, romance and high jinx take place all around you. Audiences are
led by expedition guides throughout the grounds, as we invite you to journey
on, through some of the greatest stories ever told.
Once again, intrepid adventurers won't have to loot a whole load of gold to take part, as all Sunderland performances work on a donation basis. This means, you don't need to buy a ticket to attend and all we ask is a small donation of around £10 per person at the end of the performance to help make sure our storytellers can continue making magic for everyone.

Don't worry if you're not here for the Sunderland shows either, as our troupe will be
hot-footing it north to the magnificent Alnwick Castle throughout the summer to give audiences
another chance to join the adventure, this time amongst the imposing walls
and vistas of Northumberland's famous landmark. Alnwick performances filled up
extremely quickly last year, and as such, must be purchased in advance from
www.alnwickcastle.com or in person at the Castle box office.
The 2017 season will be the first to be produced out of the all new
Collective Space, the company’s creative hub, made possible through countless
volunteer hours and a successful fundraising campaign backed by the late Denise
Robertson. More talented local artists and performers from further afield
auditioned for the season than ever before, as word spreads on the season’s
popularity.
