Shakespeare's glorious comedy
'TWELFTH NIGHT'
in a sparkling new production by
The Lord Chamberlain's Men
Wednesday 11th June
This fully professional production will be staged in the beautiful garden of The Old Rectory in the centre of the market town of Charlbury. Free car parking will be available at the Cricket Club which is a short walk from the Old Rectory.
For more than 20 years, The Lord Chamberlain's Men has presented Shakespeare's work as he first saw it, all male, in the open air with Elizabethan costume and dance. Seeing a production by The Lord Chamberlain’s Men will ignite, rekindle or maintain a burning passion in the greatest playwright the world has ever seen. The Lord Chamberlain's Men come to Charlbury for just one performance on Wednesday 11 June 2025.
Dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, St Mary’s Church , Charlbury has been a place of welcome and spiritual refreshment for over 900 years. Visitors to the town, walkers on the Oxfordshire Way, local residents and others are all welcome here, not only to enjoy the building but to take time to reflect in the peace and stillness of this place, a peaceful hub in this hectic world.
Proceeds from this performance will also support the beautiful church of All Saints Shorthampton whose building dates back to the 12th century and is still in regular use for worship. Walkers on the Oxfordshire Way come across this gem by chance and drop in to rest or to absorb the prayerful atmosphere.
It is our aim to raise a substantial sum for both churches. If you feel able to help in any way, either practically or financially please contact art@amandacooper.com
For audience members who live outside the centre of Charlbury, parking is available in the car park of Charlbury Cricket Club, a short walk from the garden of the Old Rectory. Drop-off facilities will be available for those with limited mobility.
