Otway's restoration tragedy is given the immersive theatre treatment by The Spectators' Guild. Join in the carnival before uncovering a tale of love, corruption, friendship, rebellion and betrayal.

24 April - 8 June.

In a company led by the classical stars of tomorrow including Jessie Buckley, Ferdinand Kingsley and Ashley Zhangazha, The Spectators’ Guild will stage this rarely performed masterpiece under the Italianate arches of Paynes and Borthwick. By transforming the heart of old maritime Greenwich into “The Most Serene Republic of Venice” the audience are invited into a fully realised immersive world to join in the carnival before uncovering a tale of love, corruption, friendship, rebellion and betrayal.

The carnival parade will lead you through the streets of maritime Greenwich to the historic Paynes and Borthwick Wharf where the production will unfold. The site has had many past lives as a ship engine factory, a meat storage facility and a paper warehouse. Now it comes to life again as a bustling Venetian metropolis.
