Great to see 90 years of @MasqueLatest in 90 photos in this exhibition at Abington Park Museum. What an amazing history of Northampton’s longest-running community theatre group.

Richard III will be returning later this year as an audio production, which you'll be able to listen to online for free!

We're getting the band back together, reuniting the cast and creative team behind this year's summer show, and teaming up with @NothingButRoars

You haven't heard the last of #RichardIII...
Today (22 Aug) marks the anniversary of the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 - and (spoilers) the death of the real Richard III. So we thought it might be a good day for an announcement!

This has been a very special time with a very special group of people who I call friends !Every single one of them pulled together to create a magnificent performance .I am incredibly proud that I got to be a part of it and sad that it's over , but what memories we made x

[Masque Theatre Northampton @MasqueLatest]

... well, until we head there next summer for A Midsummer Night's Dream that is!

But now the cast and crew of Richard III are putting their feet up for a well deserved rest, no doubt listening to the glorious soundtrack - which you can listen to here: https://t.co/vgvZ3G3Div

What an audience we had for our final night! Thank you to everyone who has supported our Summer Shakespeare this year, and for all of your amazing comments about the show.

The set is down, Abington Park Museum Courtyard is back to normal...

We’re not kidding folks, this is it. The final one.

There are still tickets on the door from 7pm. So pack a blanket or a jacket, cash or card for the refreshments, and join us at Abington Park Museum for Richard III’s final show (Sat 6 Aug)

Today I have done one of the hardest jobs I have to do as a director - writing the thank you cards to the cast and crew of Richard III! My wrist aches.
Tonight will be the very hardest - finishing the show and saying goodbye.
But there will be a party...😎

[jenkenny @genkijen]

And so the end is nigh ! 😥 I have had the most amazing time with this cast and crew . Every single person has given their all to this fantastic production! Give us the send off we deserve by joining our final audience tonight !!! #northampton #supportlocaltheatre #Shakespeare

Final show tonight! 🥺😢😭

[jenkenny @genkijen]

I am loving being in this play ! Only 2 more chances now !

[Masque Theatre Northampton @MasqueLatest]

Did we have to put out more seats in the Courtyard for last night's Richard III?
Yes.
Did we, in fact, almost run out of extra seats?
Also yes.

You can book online for Sat's final (😢) show, but tonight sold out online with a few available on the door.
