as Chad
A guitar-slinging, hip-swivelling roustabout who rolls into town and turns everything upside down.
This July, the open-air theatre at Strode Park comes alive with rock 'n' roll magic. Loosely based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, All Shook Up follows a mysterious guitar-playing stranger whose arrival in a small, buttoned-up town sets hearts racing, sparks flying and feet tapping. Expect comedy, romance, mistaken identities and a jukebox of Elvis classics, all under the summer sky.
Pack a hamper and a blanket. Hot and cold drinks are available at all performances, and there's a licensed bar on evening shows. We recommend bringing your own food.
It's open-air! The stage is fully covered so the show always goes on, and we'll have ยฃ1 ponchos at the gate, just in case.
A hidden, tree-lined amphitheatre in the grounds of Strode Park House. Free car parking on site, with disabled access throughout.
Our principals are all shook up and ready to roll!
