[FR] Dans le prolongement du Pré-Catelan, ne soyez pas étonnés d'un changement de décor soudain. Un théâtre de verdure composé de petits jardins thématiques révélera aux plus avertis que l'on a plongé dans l'univers de Shakespeare. Il a été inauguré en 1953.

Ils sont inspirés de cinq de ses pièces de théâtre : le " Songe d'une nuit d'été " et la " Tempête " (plantes aromatiques évoquant un jardin méditerranéen), " Macbeth " et " Hamlet " (bruyères et ifs rappelant l'Ecosse et le Danemark) et " Comme il vous plaira " (une végétation sombre et dense composée d'ifs évoquant la forêt d'Arden, au nord de Stratford-Upon-Avon, la ville natale de William Shakespeare qui y est enterré.)

Les jardins sont ponctués de citations extraites des pièces de William Shakespeare (1564-1616). Ce théâtre de verdure se réveille chaque été d'un long sommeil pour vous offrir le charme inhabituel de pièces de théâtre jouées en plein air.

[EN] This romantic green setting recreates... the world of William Shakespeare with a series of carefully themed gardens designed to evoke the spirit of five of Shakespeare’s best-known plays, from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Macbeth” to “Hamlet”, “The Tempest” and “As You Like It”.

This enchanting garden turns into one of the loveliest open-air theatres each spring. The stage setting, dotted with fragrant plants, briars and flowerbeds, gives on to lush green lawns for spectators to sit on.

Since 1992 the Tower Theatre Company has performed Shakespeare during the first week of June in this delightful setting.
