The Winter’s Tale relocates to Inn on the Park

Rooftop Theatre Company’s production of The Winter’s Tale has been forced to move from Kingsbury Barn because of complaints by residents in Kingsbury Mews. Their venue for previous productions, Inn on the Park, has stepped in and will host all planned performances except the matinée on the 17th which is cancelled. They are very grateful to Wendy Hooper and Steve Joyce at Inn on the Park for saving the production and all the hard work that has been put in. Being experienced at performing there, Rooftop will be able to fit the production to the new  location. The Winter’s Tale will work very well open-air and its combination of drama and comedy will be perfect for a summer evening.

Dates: 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th, 15th, 16th & 17th July at 7.30

Inn on the Park, Verulamium Park, Off St Michaels Street, St Albans, AL3 4SN
