MAGIC, monsters and fairies will come to life at Wilson Botanic Park in Berwick this month.
Production company Page to Stage will be performing William Shakespeare’s last known play, The Tempest, at the gardens from 15 to 23 February.
Kate McManus, from Page to Stage, urged people to come along and join in the magic.
“A fantastical combination of comedy and drama, The Tempest will come to life with romance and magic, monsters and fairies, conflict and concord and a healthy dose of redemption,” she said.
“This spectacular interpretation of The Tempest can best be described as ’Shakespeare meets Harry Potter’.”
The show will start at 7pm on 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 February.
It is an alcohol-free event, and people are encouraged to bring their own chair or picnic blanket.
Tickets can be purchased at trybooking.com/EDFV or on the night with cash only.
