The story, in plain English

Three actors set out to perform every one of Shakespeare’s plays in a single evening. The comedies get squeezed into one, the histories become a football game and Hamlet gets performed backwards.

This was the company’s return to live performance after a year away, co-directed by Madison McArthur and Mandy Knopp.

Questions

How do I get my tickets?

Book online through our box office on Ticket Tailor: choose the show, pick a date and pay by card. Ticket Tailor emails your tickets straight away, with a QR code for each seat. Show them on your phone or printed at the door.

Season subscription members book each show with their member code when its dates open.

Who do I contact about a problem with my tickets?

Email info@bardinthevalley.com with your name and the show you booked, and we’ll reply by email. If your tickets haven’t arrived, check your spam folder first, then write to us and we’ll resend them.

Can I change my date or pass my tickets on?

You can switch to another date up to four days before your show. Open the BIV tickets page, choose your show and click Manage Tickets. To give your tickets to someone else, email us their address and we’ll send the tickets to them.

Can I get a refund?

We can’t refund tickets, but you can move to another date up to four days before the show.

Can I buy tickets at the door?

Book online if you can, because shows often sell out. If you arrive without a ticket, we’ll help you buy one at the door.

When should I arrive, and where do I sit?

Doors open at 6pm for evening shows and 1pm for matinees. Most seating is general admission, so arriving early gets you a better spot. Douglas Park also has reserved seats.

What should I bring to an outdoor show?

A blanket or sweater, a hat and sunscreen, and a picnic. We set out folding chairs for everyone; if you bring your own, choose a low back so people behind you can see.

Is there food and drink?

Every venue has a concession selling local beer, wine and cider, soft drinks, water, popcorn and candy, with seat cushions to rent. Doors open an hour before the show and you’re welcome to bring a picnic.
