THE Kenton Theatre celebrated the lifting of coronavirus restrictions with the first of several “summer roadshow” performances at outdoor venues.
A three-strong cast from theatre company Morgan & West performed a version of
The Three Musketeers, in which they played a total of 15 characters, in front of the bandstand on Mill Meadows on Saturday. They frequently disappeared into a tent to change costumes and the show, which about 70 people watched, included sword fights and musical numbers.
Theatre manager Simon Spearing said: “I m really pleased that we ve been able to welcome audiences back and it was amazing to have such brilliant and wildly different performers.
