Local Mums recommend the best theatre shows in our area
"I highly recommend CODA’s production of Romeo and Juliet. We went to watch this on Wednesday evening and it was fantastic! We took a picnic and a couple of bottles of beer, the weather was beautiful and we were entertained for the whole evening - all for the cost of a couple of tickets (£20). Absolutely worth going!”

CODA are proud to present their fifth annual outdoor production in Croydon’s Wandle Park this summer - a passionate new production of Shakespeare’s beloved and romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet.
In the city of Verona in Italy, the Montagues and the Capulets are two families locked in a long-standing feud. A chance encounter between Romeo, the only son of the Montagues, and Juliet, the only daughter of the Capulets, sparks an intense love affair. But when the family feud escalates into violence, danger and tragedy await the star-crossed lovers…
With a stylish 1950s Italian setting, this production is staged in the round at Wandle Park's bandstand, and is the ideal treat for a summer's evening - with seating and a bar provided!
The production is co-directed by Sarah H Gordon and David Sanders.

The Croydon Operatic and Dramatic Association ("CODA") are proud to present their fifth annual outdoor production in Croydon’s Wandle Park this summer - a passionate new production of Shakespeare’s beloved and romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet, from 25th to 28th July.

Wandle Park is amongst the oldest public open spaces in Croydon. Originally opening in 1890, the park was re-opened in November 2012 following a multi-million pound redevelopment, which enabled extensive restoration work to uncover the course of the river Wandle, and provide new facilities.
CODA was founded in 1943, and is Croydon's leading community theatre company, performing both musicals and plays to a highly professional standard. In the last few years, CODA have performed acclaimed versions of The Railway Children, The Wind In The Willows, Witness For The Prosecution, All That Fosse, Rope, Into The Woods and Blithe Spirit, alongside concerts and Old Time Music Halls. CODA’s previous summer productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing, Oscar Wilde’s The Importance Of Being Earnest and Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance have all been performed in the round at Wandle Park’s bandstand, and have been so exceptionally well-attended and received that the company were delighted to be asked back to perform for a fifth time.
Romeo and Juliet runs from Wednesday 25th July to Saturday 28th July at the bandstand at Wandle Park, Croydon, with evening performances at 7:30pm and a matinee on Saturday 28th July at 2:30pm. Adult tickets cost £10, with concessions at £9, and may be booked online at www.codashows.co.uk or by calling the CODA box office on 07858 879019.
