This 250th anniversary production of Sheridan's comic
masterpiece is presented with live music and song by the West End company of
New Forest Open Air Theatre (previously London Touring Players).

If you enjoyed "Hay Fever", "Twelfth
Night", "The Comedy of Errors" or "The Importance of Being
Earnest", this is the same team.

Sheridan's famous comedy of love, hijinks and mistaken
identity will be set in the Edwardian age with live jazz, swashbuckling
soldiers, and hearts a-flutter.

Join us for a perfect summer evening treat at the idyllic
Furzey Gardens for this celebration of joy, wit and good humour. Laughter
guaranteed!
