VIDEO: Makers and Lovers of London Bubble Await its Return to the Parks with ON TALES FROM ARABIAN NIGHTS

London Bubble, the iconic South-East London theatre company has announced today that it will stage its first summer show in seven years, with performances in Southwark Park (1-6 August), and Greenwich Park (9-19 August). Tickets are on sale now from www.londonbubble.org.uk.

Take a look at the video as makers and lovers of London Bubble gush over its return to the parks!

Tales from the Arabian Nights was the Bubble's first promenade production when Farhana Sheikh's play was staged in 1994, and is now being reimagined for summer 2017 under the direction of Bubble Creative Director Jonathan Petherbridge, with designs by Yasuko Hasegawa.

Well known for their family friendly theatre, London Bubble's last ticketed summer show was staged in 2010. After funding cuts in 2008 the company had to reinvent itself and become wholly sustainable without Arts Council funding. Their survivalist story - which saw Bubble rebuild the company on people power, passion and partnerships - has been held up as an example of resilience in the theatre industry. The Bubble is now delighted to reconnect with its audiences and go back to doing what they were most publically known and loved for.
