The New Season in Keswick
The Theatre by the Lake in Keswick has announced its summer rep season.
The season begins on 26th May and runs throughout the summer and autumn
until 4th November. Because Keswick is a holiday destination and a favourite
of hill-walkers who like to spend their days on the hills and then have
a bath and a meal before going to the theatre, all Main House productions
begin at 8.00 and all Studio productions at 8.15.
For the full performance schedule and online booking, go to www.theatrebythelake.com
