Come From Away starts at Robin Hill on Friday 4 September. It begins at 20:00 and is scheduled to finish at 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. Horse Box Theatre uses the musical to follow the Newfoundland residents and stranded air passengers brought together after 9/11. The Friday setting lets that generosity unfold in front of a weekend audience under the evening sky. The Downend setting places the audience among woodland and open space instead of inside a conventional auditorium. Weather and fading light become part of the event’s character.
Advance tickets start at £18. Robin Hill hosts the 105-minute performance from 20:00 to 21:45, and the outdoor setting makes layers and current weather advice worth checking before you leave. Friday may suit groups who want the musical to begin the weekend; Saturday and Sunday offer the same production on later dates. The Island’s arts and creative events include other theatre choices. Book this one for the story and ensemble music, then let the open-air venue shape the atmosphere around it.
