The title might suggest another children’s play, but rest assured this play is most definitely for grown-ups! Set in San Francisco, the play centres around two flawed but very human characters, Doris has aspirations to be an actress and model, but in reality is a part-time hooker. Felix suffers from similar delusions – that he is an intellectual and talented writer, whilst working as a clerk in a book store whose writings are continuously rejected by the publishers.
The pair meet in the most unpromising of circumstances – he is responsible for her eviction from her apartment – but unexpectedly fall in love. There follows a tempestuous relationship that is presented though a series of explosively funny, sometimes farcical encounters as they play out their on-off romance.
The play enjoyed a very successful run on Broadway and was subsequently made into a film with George Segal and Barbra Streisand.

Description
The Theatre is located on the delightful Two Sisters Lawn in the award winning gardens of Hever Castle in Kent, adjacent to the legendary Anne Boleyn Walk – the Castle was originally the home of the Boleyn family. The lawn is surrounded by some delightful flower beds including the famous ‘long border’ and an abundance of ornamental trees; it also contains the picturesque Two Sisters pond (and grotto) and a magnificent Tulip Tree.
As well as being a visual delight, the setting provides a natural auditorium with easy access to the theatre car park and the lakeside for those who prefer to picnic in view of the lake. For the others, the lawn itself provides a convenient and relaxing spot for that preshow picnic.
Additional Information:
All evening performances start at 8pm unless otherwise stated. The castle gates open at 6.30pm for pre theatre picnics. Matinee performances start at 2.30pm and the gates open at 2pm.
