July is a great month to be in the midlands. Actor Henry Goodman and director Trevor Nunn are teaming up for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s new production of Ben Jonson’s satire “Volpone.” There is also a new performing arts festival “Birmingham Fest” launching in fringe theater venues across Birmingham bringing talent from all over the country to some of the city’s quirkier theatrical spaces.If you are in Sheffield between July 9-18 then we highly recommend that you clear an evening for a night of theatrical entertainment that promises to be on a grand-scale.London’s Royal Opera House will be treating audiences this month too, with a special performance on July 22 showcasing scenes from Syrian composer Zaid Jabri’s new opera “Cities of Salt.”BLOUIN ARTINFO has scoured theaters up, down, and across the United Kingdom to find out which productions are not to be missed if you are planning a trip to the theater this July.View the slideshow to see our top 5 recommendations.
