With a daughter who has loved Winnie the Pooh since the age of two, Everyman Theatre’s latest production was always a must.

The show, is part of the 28th Everyman Summer Theatre Festival, is set in the open grounds of St Fagans National History Museum- a perfect wooded location for a show set in the infamous 100 Aker Wood.

St Fagans by moonlight can be a magical place. And it’s an ideal outdoor setting for the Everyman Theatre production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera HMS Pinafore.

Everybody in the audience is under cover, while a strong and enthusiastic cast are in the open, playing to a backdrop of trees. That somehow adds to a show with a nautical theme.

A father tells his son bedtime stories about the toys in the nursery. A toy bear becomes the celebrated Winnie the Pooh, and the nursery The 100 Aker Wood. The other toys become Pooh’s friends - Piglet, Kanga and, Rabbit and Roo (not to mention Wol, Tigger and Eeyore).

Join in their adventures this summer which include An Expotition To The North Pole and In Which Piglet Was Entirely Surrounded by Water.

A.A.Milne’s enchanting stories, adapted for the stage by Glyn Robbins, will delight both young and old alike.

Winnie the Pooh runs at St Fagans until 31 July with performances during the daytimes at 12pm and 3:30pm (please check our Festival website for exact show times)

Running time: 2 hours (including interval)

What shall we do with the lovesick sailor who’s in love with the Captain’s daughter?

Gilbert and Sullivan's ever popular comic operetta will be produced as part of the Everyman Summer Theatre Festival in the delightful surroundings of The Museum of Welsh Life, Cardiff!

There are some new jazzy arrangements to Sullivan's famous score and a crew of very glamorous sailors! Expect some surprises along the way as Things Are Seldom What... They Seem on board HMS Pinafore!

HMS Pinafore runs at St Fagans until 31 July with performances at 8pm every evening and an additional 3:30pm matinee on the final day.

Running time to be confirmed shortly!

This fresh, vibrant and very funny production of one of Shakespeare’s late comedies is a joy from start to finish.

Many in the audience will probably never view nuns in quite the same light again after the hilarious way they are depicted in this sometimes bizarre and always novel adaptation of the play, directed with gusto by Richard Tunley. Those familiar with the play will know that there are no nuns in the work Shakespeare penned in about 1600.

The Crucible is due to be performed at Chapter Arts Centre from 16-20 November 2010. Please note that this will include a Saturday matinee performance on Saturday 20 November.

Auditions will be taking place from 24 August 2010. Rehearsals will start from Tuesday 7 September 2010.

Today, it is time for our Shakespeare production to open. Come to St Fagans and enjoy Richard Tunley's lively re-telling of the Bard's Much Ado About Nothing.

Come and find out if the course of true love ever did run smooth!

War is over. The victorious Prince of Aragon, Don Pedro, returns from battle to the Italian town of Messina to enjoy the hospitality of the Governor and his family.

Celebration and the threat of tragedy follow with a masquerade ball, a wedding, a revengeful villain, saucy maids, a funeral, a trial, clowns and two sets of lovers.

The 'merry war' between the two central characters, Beatrice and Benedick, lies at the heart of this play. Publicly they battle it out, whilst privately they yearn for each other's affection.

The production runs until Saturday 17 July with performances every evening at 8pm and additional afternoon matinee on 17 July at 3:30pm. Ticket prices range between £11-£15 depending on the performance day/time.

The Everyman Summer Theatre Festival also includes: Gair am Air (until 10 July), HMS Pinafore (21-31 July) and Winnie the Pooh (24-31 July)
