Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre transports you to the beating heart of 19th century New York in an electrifying new drama!

In the tumultuous mix of Manhattan’s most notorious neighbourhoods, crime and corruption dictate destinies.

Amidst the lawless chaos, two star-crossed lovers defy their feuding families to find solace in each other’s arms.

This riveting tale of love, power and betrayal promises a pulse-pounding theatre experience like no other.

Get your friends together and enjoy one of Chester's most loved Summer events as the park is filled with fun and laughter once more.
