Round theatre UK

Elsewhere in the UK there are various productions in-the-round:

The New Victoria hosts Outside Edge by Richard Harris:

"A comedy set against the back drop of a cricket pavilion about the trials and tribulations of the players and their wives and girlfriends. Roger has his work cut out as he desperately tries to assemble a cricket team to play against the British Railways Maintenance Division Reading East. However, these problems are the least of his worries compared to the complications occurring amongst their wives and girlfriends. As a final catastrophe, rain starts to fall."

Alan Ayckbourn has been producing plays for the round for well over forty years, and his home theatre, the Stephen Joseph in Scaroborough, has been the beginning of many of them. This summer see his 61st opus, Snake in the Grass.
