Open-air tours of two great shows

Open-air tours of The Great Gatsby and Doctor Doolittle are coming to several Gloucestershire venues this summer.

Tethered Wits are touring the country this summer, stopping off at venues including Berrybank Amphitheatre, Tuckwell Amphitheatre and Wallsworth Hall, Gloucester.

The Great Gatsby takes you back to 1920s New York. A city full of dreamers.Through the eyes of Nick Carraway, we are introduced to the high-fliers (and low-lifes) of glitzy Manhattan. However, when he meets a certain Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, he realises the parties are not always what they seem...

Featuring the music of Cole Porter & George Gershwin live on stage, this production promises to be a party to remember. An undisputed gem of American literature, Fitzgerald's critique of the Jazz Age captures the glamorous façade of the era in style.

The second production is a family-friendly production of Doctor Dolittle! Doctor Dolittle likes animals. In fact, he likes them so much he fills his house with every kind of creature imaginable. And then one day, he figures out how to speak their language.

Tethered Wits brings this beloved story of the extraordinary animal doctor to life using stunning puppetry. This fun show makes for the paw-fect day out for all the family.

Gloucestershire dates for the two productions are as follows:

The Great Gatsby:

Berrybank Amphitheatre, near Stow-on-the-Wold, Thursday, August 3, 7pm

Tuckwell Amphitheatre, Cheltenham, Saturday, August 5, 7.30pm
