Since its first presentation of Twelfth Night in 1932, London's most famous al fresco theatre has entertained millions of playgoers with its dazzling productions and pastoral charm. Originally
inspired by the desire to stage Shakespeare in the open air, the Park now also presents musicals, studio plays and concerts.
This celebration of the Park, published for its 75th anniversary, tells the story of one of Britain's best loved theatres. A roll call of stars have acted on the Park's turf bank stage, from
Vivien Leigh to Judi Dench, from Jack Hawkins to Robert Stephens and Ralph Fiennes. The unique experience of watching a play at the Open Air Theatre, Regent's Park has been described as
eccentric, imaginative, magical, unpredictable, charming - and chilly.
