Description:
A Midsummer Night's Dream
A romantic comedy about four warring couples, a donkey's head, and a gaggle of fairies. Amongst the natural and magical setting of our holiday park, proud parents Theo (Bill Paterson) and Polly Moon (Imelda Staunton) are holding a weekend party to celebrate their daughter Hermia's engagement to her childhood sweetheart, and boy-next-door James. But Hermia is forced to announce that she loves another, Zander.

The Taming of the Shrew
Katherine Minola (Shirley Henderson) is a successful politician, tipped for the leadership of her party. The only problem is, her awful temper has left her a 38 year old singleton, and everyone, from her party chairman to her wealthy and beautiful sister, wants her to get married. Is passionate eccentric Petruchio (Rufus Sewell) the answer to her prayers?

Macbeth
Joe Macbeth (James McAvoy) is Head Chef in an award winning restaurant owned by 'Executive Chef' Duncan. Whilst Duncan swans around from TV interview to celebrity party garnering praise and recognition for his amazing cooking, Joe is the one hard at work producing culinary masterpieces for the tables. Then one night three witch-like garbagemen meet Joe and tell him all the glory and the restaurant can one day be all his and Macbeth is soon seduced by the destructive possibility of power.

Much Ado About Nothing
Beatrice (Sarah Parish) and Benedick (Damian Lewis) are clearly made for each other, but it takes their colleagues' well-meaning trickery to get them to finally admit to each other, and most importantly to themselves, that they are a match made in heaven.Hunky sports presenter Claude (Tom Ellis) and gorgeous weather girl Hero (Billie Piper), are also in love with dramatic consequences.
