It is being held daily in the grounds. More details here where tickets can be booked.
Locals benefit from a discount.
The full cast includes Lilly Driscoll (In Her Strength, Cardboard Citizens; Jekyll & Hyde, ITV), Louis Gaudenico (Fiver, Southwark Playhouse; Call the Midwife, BBC), Andy Watkins (Kinky Boots, UK tour; Brexit the Musical, Edinburgh Festival) and Joanne Ferguson (The Play That Goes Wrong, West End; Emmerdale, ITV).
Lesnes Abbey is a short stroll from Abbey Wood station and a lovely area beside ancient woodland. The ruins nearby attractions are well worth a visit. I grew up locally and don’t remember anything like this as a kid, so make the most of it!
Running a site alone takes time and a fair bit of money. Adverts are far from enough to cover it and my living costs as a private renter.
