Stamford Arts Centre's resident theatre group takes its play to a spectacular Cornish theatre sited on cliffs near Land's End from today.
The Minack Theatre hosts Stamford Shoestring every three years, this year, they've taken the Shakespeare play, Love's Labour's Lost, to the prestigious venue. Director David Roberts knows it well, and was in charge of the production when it was performed at the Stamford Arts Centre just a few weeks ago.
"Here, we've got an intimate theatre and the play will be intimately performed. When we get to Minack, it'll be scaled up, you know, to fight against the sea and the sharks and the weather, and I first went there in 1970 with Twelfth Night. That was when the lady who built it was still there. So I remember her very vividly.
And on and off, I've been going there ever since, with some few years gap. But yes, Shoestring itself has taken the Three Musketeers, The Madness of George III, and Anne Boleyn, also the Roses of Eyam, and The Shaugraun. So we have been regularly down there because we've done quite well, you know.
We did in fact win the trophy for George III, because they do vote, you know, which is the best production, and George III came first, and Anne Boleyn was a runner up."
