​We might not have been able to host a live 'Show-down" again this year but as promised, there was still plenty of news to share! Thank you to everyone who joined for our virtual 'Show and Tell' event, where we took a look back at the events of 2019/2020 and shared our exciting roadmap of events for 2021! If you weren't able to join us, please find the highlights below. If you'd like to see the presentation in full, or have any questions on any of our upcoming events, then do please get in touch by emailing info@mayhemtheatrecompany.co.uk.

Songs under the Summer Sun
An Outdoor Cabaret

CANNIZARO PARK, WIMBLEDON
19-20 JUNE 2021


Our first post lockdown event will be an incredibly exciting and fantastic opportunity for us to get back out there and perform. Think open air, a live band, live performances – and live audiences!

  • Open air performance with live orchestra
  • Four daytime performances over one weekend
  • Tried and tested COVID-compliant production plans and seating arrangement
  • Artistic and production team opportunities available
  • Stage crew and stewarding volunteers required

We're excited to give members this fantastic opportunity to perform to a live audience again, with our first outdoor cabaret, and our first large cast production since Autumn 2019 and we will be releasing more details re opportunities to perform and how that is going to work in the coming weeks. However, staging an outdoor covid safe and government and council compliant event with live musicians is going to be no mean feat – considering our summer Shakespeare is just around the corner.

So we are going to need YOUR help in making this production happen. Being involved in the production team does not necessarily mean that you cannot also perform, however we do need to know if we will have enough support in advance of the casting process. If you are interested and happy to get involved on the production side and help shoulder some of the grunt work, please email info@mayhemtheatrecompany.co.uk ​by Sunday 21 March. Thank you in advance!​

The Tempest

CANNIZARO PARK, WIMBLEDON
29 JULY - 1 AUGUST 2021


The end of July will see our return to Cannizaro for Mayhem's 10th annual Shakespeare, the Tempest (slated originally for 2020, but sadly cancelled due to COVID-19). We will once again be under the stalwart creative leadership of the fabulous due Alex and Georgie (A Midsummer Night's Dream) and the production team from The Complete Works. As it's our 10th year, you can expect a few extras this year including a fabulous anniversary overlay for the Italian Gardens!

As social distancing will be a thing of the past, we will be back with a full capacity audience (fingers crossed), a cast of 15-20 and two matiness this year. Auditions will be held outdoors in May and the audition pack released in the coming weeks.

If you’d like to be involved in the production side whether that be costumes, props, marketing or simply donning a mayhem high vis jacket and helping to navigate audiences through the park – drop a line to info@mayhemtheatre.co.uk and join the team.

  • Celebrating 10 years of Mayhem Shakespeare at Cannizaro!
  • From the creative team who brought you A Midsummer Night's Dream, Director: Alex Johnson, AD: Georgina Macfarlane
  • From the Producers of The Complete Works: Jon Wade, Elinor Morgan Jones, Matt Bentley & Emma Batchelor
  • 5 performances: Thu-Sat evening + Sat & Sun matinees
  • Cast size: 15-20
  • Full audience capacity, performed in the round

Legally Blonde

MICHAEL FRAYN THEATRE, KINGSTON
AUTUMN 2021


Mayhem is firmly committed to bringing Legally Blonde to the stage after being cancelled with just 2 weeks to go back in March last year. The production team are currently working with all of the parties involved in what is a large scale and complex production and are aiming to finalise new confirmed dates in the coming weeks. 

We can however confirm that the show will be going ahead with the same creative team, at the same theatre, with the same cast (where possible) and same band. We will be working closely with the cast over the next few months and should any re-casting be required due to a change in circumstances, this will take place in June and July 2021.

Refresher rehearsals will begin in July with full company rehearsals resuming at the beginning of September so plenty of time for us all to get back in shape after all those deliveroos, build up that stamina again, re-learn to skip and fit back into those costumes.

We can't wait to get started again and due to the additional time we have been gifted, we will be back even bigger and better than before.

  • Mayhem’s first indoor production
  • Negotiating Autumn 2021 theatre dates (original venue)
  • June/July – any recasting required
  • July – existing cast refresh programme initiated
  • September – full company rehearsals resume
