Generous student discount ($20 tickets and you can get two with one discount). Call the box office for them. The Elizabethan theater was really awesome! I saw Jane Eyre and it was great. Going back for Macbeth and Coriolanus this season!
We had an absolute blast touring the cute town, seeing the history of the festival, and seeing one of the best performances of MacBeth we’ve ever seen! The sound was spot on, the pace kept your attention, and the songs were surprisingly a lot of fun for a Shakespeare play!
Really cool venue and performance (we saw Twelfth Night). Very unique experience to watch such performances in an outdoor venue. The plays are very modern takes on the classics which make it a little more approachable for those less familiar. I had little knowledge of the story, Twelfth Night, so highly recommend doing a little homework pre-show otherwise you might find yourself lost trying to follow the story (particularly given the heavy early modern English).
The theater is very nice with variety of concessions and easily accessible restrooms.
