Come From Away takes place at Robin Hill on Thursday 3 September. The organiser gives it 1 hours 45 minutes, from 20:00 until 21:45.
Horse Box Theatre stages the musical story of Gander, the Newfoundland town that welcomed stranded air passengers after 9/11. The outdoor Robin Hill setting gives this familiar production an Island-scale stage, with the performance finishing before 10pm. The story depends on a community opening its doors after 9/11, which gives the open-air Island production an apt sense of shared space. Music and ensemble storytelling carry a large human story through a compact cast format. Robin Hill’s woodland and open ground give outdoor performance and activity room to breathe after the daytime attraction has changed pace. Evening light makes the familiar park feel like a separate venue.
Tickets start at £18 and must be booked. The performance runs outdoors from 20:00 to 21:45, so bring layers suited to a September evening and use any weather instructions from Horse Box Theatre. Robin Hill hosts four consecutive dates; Thursday is useful if you want the first performance in this run. Browse more arts and creative events for indoor alternatives. The show finishes before 22:00, leaving a clear end to an evening centred on one complete musical story.
