Shakespeare Under the Stars - Newcastle
Wednesday 27 November 2024 to Sunday 08 December 2024
Overview
Whale Chorus is excited to announce the delivery of a third season of summer Shakespeare Under the Stars with the beloved comedy ‘Twelfth Night’ in Newcastle’s iconic Pacific Park.
Based on the success of the sold-out seasons in 2023, the popular event is expanding for local audiences and visitors to enjoy this December.
Audiences will experience Newcastle come alive as a popular local park is activated and transformed into a theatre in the round. A locally grown professional theatre company will bring to life one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies with a modern twist, live music, and timeless entertainment for the whole family to enjoy.
