2024 PRODUCTIONS
2024 will mark Mayhem Theatre Company’s thirteenth year of spectacular outdoor theatre in Wimbledon, as we resume our annual residency at the beautiful Cannizaro Park. We have two very different opportunities on offer: a musical cabaret with live orchestra, and a large-scale Shakespeare production. Perhaps there’s a classic Shakespeare you’d like to put a new spin on, or you have an out-of-the-box idea for a new cabaret format? We’re open to receiving creative and production team pitches from both individuals or ready-made teams, and encourage you to think big and get creative with your ideas for the large outdoor space.
