The world's most-beloved tale of love at first sight. Set in a sultry Italian summer, hot-blooded passion pulses and tempers fray as young lovers hastily tread their dangerous path through the bitter feud of two warring families.

Join BOAT as they celebrate their 60th season on Brownsea Island.

Brownsea Open Air Theatre is an open-air Shakespearian theatre company based in Poole, Dorset that has performed large theatrical productions since 1964. Over the last 60 years BOAT has involved over 1,500 volunteers, entertained 10’s of thousands of people and raised over £250,000 for the National Trust.

However, there is more to the BOAT experience than just the performance. The short ferry journey from Poole Harbour really sets up the evening, and sailing back to shore at night under the stars is memorable. Patrons often go to the island using their ticket from 5:00pm and explore the island or picnic. The ticket is fully inclusive, so you don't need to pay anything else to enjoy this unique experience.

BOAT is a registered charity (no. 278003) which raises funds primarily for the National Trust and the Dorset Wildlife Trust. The company is professionally run, but those involved with BOAT, whether onstage, backstage or front-of-house are unpaid volunteers.
