		No wonder outdoor theatre is one of the fastest-growing sectors in British arts.
		A decade ago it was hard to find any al-fresco performances except at long-standing venues such as the Open Air Theatre in London's Regent's Park, at the beautiful Minack Theatre in Cornwall or amid the ruins of Ludlow Castle.
		The truth is that much outdoor theatre owes more to nostalgia (and has more in common with "heritage" entertainments like jousting) than it owes to modern theatre practice.
