In March and April it is thrilled to present The Recruiting Officer and Our Country's Good; the 20th anniversary of the 1988 production of the two plays at The Royal Court Theatre in London.

The Recruiting Officer by George Farquhar is set in Shrewsbury 1704; the officers are in search of new recruits for the English army, whilst the ladies embark on a campaign of military proportions to woo their men.

With both plays performed by the same company of 10 actors, many of whom have performed at Theatre by the Lake before, this 'pairing' of plays offers audiences a truly unique theatre experience.

With backstage tours and turnarounds, the theatre's café and two exhibition spaces, Theatre by the Lake can offer much more than just an evening's entertainment. Visit www.theatrebythelake.com for more information.

Shake off the lethargy of overindulgence and book now for a spring season that promises twice the amount of entertainment.

What's more, to encourage audiences to make the most of the opportunity to see both linked plays, the venue is offering a fantastic ticket deal – book for both plays at the same time and get the best seats available for both productions for just £25.

Tickets for both plays must be booked and paid for at the same time.

Excludes preview, first night and all matinee performances. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. Subject to availability.

Theatre by the Lake is located adjacent to The Keswick Launch Company, a five minute walk from the town centre. For further information or to book please call Tickets and Information on 017687 74411.

Both plays are in repertoire from March 24 to April 5 and Our Country's Good is also on March 15 to 24.
