Jenny Wren Productions is a Gloucestershire-based professional theatre company, formed in 2004. In the summer we can be found performing classic plays under the stars at open-air venues around the county, including Berkeley Castle, Cowley Manor and Highnam Court near Gloucester. The autumn usually takes us on another tour, often with a new play, to small theatres and rural venues. We have strong links with the Cheltenham Everyman Theatre and perform there regularly. We have toured schools, libraries and care homes with Theatre in Education projects, incorporating educational workshops, and in 2020, we adapted! We created radio drama and an online play - but we are looking forward to creating live shows again later in 2021 :)

The company comprises a pool of actors, musicians, designers, stage managers, producer and director. Many of our projects have been funded by Arts Council England and with others we have raised money for charities including the Pied Piper Appeal at Gloucester Hospital and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. And whilst doing all of this, we have a lot of fun!

JENNY WREN PRODUCTIONS' SUMMER TOUR 2025



Jenny Wren Productions presents

Robert Louis Stevenson's

TREASURE ISLAND

Adapted by Matthew Bassington and Aidan Mosby 

Looking for adventure? Jenny Wren Productions invite you to join our hero Jim Hawkins and sail the seven seas in search of buried treasure!

There’s never a dull moment on board ship – the grog flows, we love a sea shanty and the parrot can’t keep a secret.

But it won’t all be plain sailing with the notorious Long John Silver aboard. Murder and mutiny abound, not to mention the dreaded “Black Spot”; surrounded by all those brawling buccaneers, who can you trust?

Anchors aweigh as our small and entirely dubious crew chart the course to Treasure Island.

In the open-air - please bring a blanket or chair. Suitable for all aged 8 to 108.
