Our June’s Wedding’ is a warm, gentle, funny and very different type of play which cleverly transformed it’s audience of strangers into a group of family and friends, all of them guests at June’s wedding.

The play exhibits vivacious, cheeky humour with a little bit of magic, time travel and cake thrown in!

Our June’s Wedding began life as a piece of theatre commissioned with the aim to bring smaller rural communities together and to bring rural touring theatre to people’s doorstep. The first pilot show resulted in an incredible response from audiences. In 2015, Arts Partnership Surrey commissioned Theatre Exchange to tour the piece in Surrey.

Given that the audience was heavily involved in the performance the play was hugely versatile; like a wedding what happens can vary with every guest!
