Love's Labour's Lost impresses the critics

The critics and audiences are in agreement - our production of Love's Labour's Lost  "does admirable service to one of Shakespeare's early comic dramas" (The Telegraph).

Audience reactions to Love's Labour's Lost are in!

Our first preview of Love's Labour's Lost took place on Wednesday 24th June. The promenade performance took the sold out audience all around the Botanic Gardens. Here's what they had to say about the experience -click here. The performance runs until Sat 11 July and tickets are selling well. For more information and to book, click here.

The Comedy of Errors - 11th & 12th July

While we are always optimists regarding weather here at Bard in the Botanics (you have to be to do outdoor theatre in Scotland!), we are also realists and the weather forecast for Saturday 12th July is not looking particularly good at the moment.  

So if you have booked tickets for The Comedy of Errors on Saturday 12th July but don't want to risk missing out on seeing the show because of weather, we will honour your booking at this evening's performance (Friday 11th July).

All you need to do is bring your name and your booking reference to our box office in the Botanic Gardens Tearoom any time after 6.30 p.m. this evening and we will issue you tickets for this evening's performance of The Comedy of Errors.

Your booking for Saturday 12th July will then be cancelled to ensure tickets can't be used twice. If you're unable to come this evening, your tickets for Sat 12th will still be eligible for a refund should we be forced to cancel the performance tomorrow.

Unfortunately, because of limited capacity, we cannot offer the same deal to our audiences for Hamlet - that performance is sold out and we do not have the space to admit additional audience members.

We hope this will help as many people as possible enjoy our performance of The Comedy of Errors.
