It’s about as far west as you can get in the UK (Land’s End is near by), surrounded by white sandy beaches on the stunning Cornish coast. The summer play season got under way this week and performances include Jesus Christ Superstar (Monday to Friday), Sense and Sensibility (June 25-29), Sweeney Todd (August 6-10), the Pirates of Penzance (September 17-21) and Chicago (September 24-28).
