The two shows will take place at the castle over summer
Illyria Theatre will be bringing productions of two family-friendly outdoor theatre shows to Lincoln Castle this summer.
Both The Emperor’s New Clothes and Comedy of Errors will be performed at the historic attraction later this year.
The Emperor’s New Clothes
On Wednesday, July 26 there will be a performance of The Emperor’s New Clothes, based on the timeless Hans Christian Andersen story.
Illyria first performed the family show in 2000, when it was critic’s choice at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and attracted multiple five-star reviews on a sell-out UK tour.
Gates open at 6pm, with the performance starting at 7pm.
Tickets cost £13.50 for adults, £11.50 for concessions and £9.50 for children.
Comedy of Errors
On Wednesday, August 2, Illyria will return to the castle with their unique take on Shakespeare’s classic Comedy of Errors, a tale of two identical twins, separated at birth, who unknowingly end up in the same city.
Gates open at 6.30pm, with the performance starting at 7.30pm.
Tickets cost £13.50 for adults, £11.50 for concessions and children.
Jon Hogan, public engagement manager, said: “Illyria are one of the best in the business, and I’m sure they’ll bring these two popular stories to life like no one else.
“So bring your picnics, chairs and friends for what promises to be two wonderful evenings of first-class outdoor theatre.”

Several residents have continued to vigilantly monitor the River Witham’s water levels, prepared with sandbags outside their homes as a precaution after Storm Babet damaged two sections of the riverbank. But, despite the looming threat, there is a prevailing sense of confidence among the community, suggesting that further flooding is unlikely.
News that a £165,000 improvement project on the Handley Monument in Sleaford will commence early next year has been supported by local residents, who feel it is a much needed addition to the town centre, but it hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism.
North Kesteven District Council unveiled its plans for the historic Handley Monument in Sleaford, with a view to improving the surrounding area and also lighting up the monument to attract more attention to its role in the town’s history.
