Following the Government’s announcement that ‘outdoor theatre’ can go ahead, KD Theatre Productions are promising “fun for all the family”.
Performances will take place twice daily in The Dean’s Garden of Ely Cathedral from August 26 to 29, with audiences adhering to social distancing measures.
Katherine Hickmott & Daniel Bell, producers of KD, said: “Last year’s production of ‘Peter Pan’ was a tremendous success, and KD had to delay plans for their proposed production this summer, until recently when the guidance changed.

“We are over the moon to be able to bring back high-quality professional theatre to the people of Ely this summer.
“We have gathered a cast of brilliant performers including some sensational variety and circus acts.
“Audience members can expect barrels of laughter and all the fun and frolics you would expect from a KD production.
