Living Willow Theatre
Y Glôb Byw - The Living Willow Theatre - is a scaled down, living version of the Globe in London, being a third of its size in diameter. The willow has been carefully woven into an organic and spiritual theatre, starkly sculptural in spring, which is almost completely absorbed by its lush, green surroundings in summer months. This secret, magical and intimate space, with a rough thrust stage, is totally unique - we believe it is one of the largest willow constructions in the country and probably the only one in use as a theatre in the world. Viola’s determination to ‘make me a willow cabin at your gate’ has a whole new resonance.
The Living Willow Theatre hosts events from April - September, offering syllabus Shakespeare for schools through community productions and professional tours. It is a venue for an eclectic mix of music, Shakespeare, and other arts happenings. We have the option of wet weather cover should it rain. All events in the theatre are supported by the resources of the Mid Wales Shakespeare Centre and the organic farm - with bar and barbecue after the show.
