Idyll at Storyhouse, Chester
About the show
Storytelling, movement and a cast of vivid characters are set to come together in a captivating and compelling new production being presented by Storyhouse Young Company (SYC) next month.
Idyll will be staged in Storyhouse’s Garret Theatre on Friday and Saturday, 22-23 May 2026. Tickets are on sale now priced from £5.
Alice is falling in love. Harry has been sleeping in a tent in the garden. Tommy Scott has been blocking the road with hay bales again.
A map can tell you about the land, but it can’t tell you about the people who live there, so that’s what we’re here to do.
Idyll is set in a rural village on a scorching hot day in July. And another hot day means one thing – more visitors. Tempers fray and feelings bubble to the surface in a play which asks who has the right to call a place their own?
