About this event
Being a teenager is a difficult time in your life. Take Perseus for example. An impoverished, but ambitious young lad, from a single parent home, has to try and make his way in the world while dealing with the delusions of his mother. She insists that they are royalty, and his father was a God! How is he supposed to live up to that?
Andromeda would love to be left alone, but being actual royalty, she has duties, like marriage, and a mother who is insufferably vain. Embarrassing enough, but when she starts including her daughter in her vain boasts life is about to get a lot more dramatic for the young girl.
Then there are the Gods. They are starting to take an interest in all of these goings on. That rarely makes things easier, they do have a way of making things more difficult…
The performance will take place in West Stow Country Park. Please note “Theatre in the Parks” tickets do not include a visit to the Anglo Saxon Museum.
Please bring chairs and blankets with you, pack a picnic and dress for the weather, it is the British summer after all!

About the Venue
Surrounding the West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village and with 125 acres of unspoilt countryside, trails, heath and woodland walks, there is plenty to explore at West Stow Country Park.
For wildlife enthusiasts there are two bird hides and a bird feeding area as well as a lake and the River Lark with all the life that this attracts.
Perfect for picnics on sunny days or energetic winter walks and with an adventure playground for children, this is an ideal family destination.
Families can also enjoy the Beowulf and Grendell Adventure Trail.
Open: Daily 9am to 5pm in winter (during December and January, the park may close at dusk) Daily 9am to 8pm in summer
Cost: The park is free to enjoy (you will need to pay for parking if you need it)
Dog Friendly
Dogs are welcome in the country park, provided they are kept on a lead. Dogs are not allowed in the Anglo-Saxon Village, Museum or Visitor Centre, with the exception of assistance dogs, due to the presence of livestock and the archaeological nature of the site. Dogs are welcome in the Grounds Cafe and they offer indoor seating for your pets as well as some delicious treats- such as handmade dog biscuits and ice cream.
