The Bold and Saucy Theatre Company have been staging Shakespearian productions in Oxford college gardens for many years.
Their venue this year is Wadham College Gardens, where they will be staging The Taming of the Shrew from Monday to Saturday, August 4.
They aim to give this production a contemporary feel by using costumes from the 1920s, which they believe will suit the plot well.
The audiences who regularly attend these plays in the open-air do so because the locations lend themselves to such performances. There is something magical about watching Shakespeare as dusk settles and all the clocks in town begin striking 9pm.
As one tourist was over heard to say as they left Wadham College Gardens last year: "This is what I travelled half-way round the world to see. No other city in the world does things quite as well as Oxford, and nowhere else offers such a perfect marriage of action and scenery."
