I think the kids call this #ThrowbackThursday ?!?!

Did you miss seeing Illyria on TV this week?!

Our brilliant actors met Michael Portillo on his 'Great Coastal Railway Journey' through #Cornwall 🎉

Catch it (and us!) on iPlayer: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

This absolutely ended me so I hope it was worth it 😅

(There may, of course, be controversy about the Rules of Venn and how I’ve interpreted them 🙀)

If you draw your own let me know!

Calm down, dear - we're only on the flippin' BBC! 🤩📺

Michael Portillo's 'Great Coastal Railway Journeys' goes on an adventure from Penzance to Porthcurno #Cornwall with a surprise visit from Illyria 💃

You can watch it now on iPlayer: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

⏰🖼️ One from the vault!

Absolutely love looking back at some of these pictures from previous seasons.

And soon I’ll be able to post heaps of new ones from 2024 🥳

Some more #Shakespeare on a #Sunday for you all!

PS - come and hear some of these quotes performed aloud, by professional actors, in some of the best outdoor settings around.

We first produced Romeo and Juliet in 2000 and in 2010 (left) - and so we can’t wait to perform it again for you all this year (right).

Virtual applause to Frazer Marr for the amazing poster artwork too!

This quote from Romeo and Juliet is exactly how I feel every Sunday evening tbh! 😢👻

But you can beat the Sunday Scaries by making sure you’ve got a nice visit to see Illyria to look forward to. 🎭

All the world’s a stage, some wise guy once said.

We’d like to say THANK YOU to all the amazing creatives that make theatre happen. And to all the energising audiences who keep coming back year on year.

Love,
The Illyrians x

In anticipation of The Adventures of Doctor Dolittle hitting the road, here is what you said about one of our previous family shows.

Thanks for capturing so accurately everything we love about theatre in the great outdoors 💚

FINALLY!

Tonight is the Spring Equinox - which means it’s officially okay to start wearing shorts again, right? 🩳

Not long now until we start our 2024 touring season. Come and join us: illyria.co.uk/shows

🎵 I’ve been thinking about what anthems should represent each show this season. 🤔

Finding a song for The Adventures of Doctor Dolittle was hands-down the easiest.

And if you know Illyria a little already, you probably already know what it is! 🍰
