Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year – Live! at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre

Award-winning stage and screen actors will come together for an entertaining evening of Shakespeare based on Allie Esiri’s bestselling poetry anthology: Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year on Sunday 25th May 2025 at 19:30.

Actors including Damian Lewis (Homeland),  Tracy-Ann Oberman (The Merchant of Venice 1936), Tony Robinson (Blackadder), Olivia Williams (Dune, The Crown), James Phoon (Bridgerton), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones, Mission Impossible), Hugh Ross (Outlander, Patriot Games), Kate Fleetwood (Harry Potter, Harlots), Danny Sapani (Killing Eve, Black Panther), Samantha Spiro (Sex Education),  will guide you on a journey through the Shakespeare you love and the best bits you don’t.

There will be poetry, speeches, comedy and scenes read by actors who have a special connection to Shakespeare’s work and to Regents Park Theatre itself.

It was at Regent’s Park that Damian Lewis spent a season playing Hamlet and where Samantha Spiro performed an acclaimed Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing and won an Olivier Award for Hello Dolly! there.

The multi-award-winning Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, established in 1932,  is one of the largest theatres in London (at a capacity of 1,304). Producing popular, enriching and unexpected theatre that provides a lens into the here and now, the scale and ambition of their productions together with their magical outdoor setting, makes them unique in the capital’s cultural landscape. Every year they welcome over 150,000 people to their 20-week summer season.

A night of great performances, poetry, laughter, wisdom and wit, which I’d imagine Shakespeare himself would approve.
