A Midsummer Night’s Dream

By William Shakespeare

Now it is the time of night…
Now we Faeries, that do run, by the triple Hecate’s team,
From the presence of the sun, following darkness like a dream,
Now are frolic.

Magic and mischief abound in this hilarious and enchanting tale. As night falls in the forest - in the magic between waking and dreaming - the faeries cast their spell, and it seems no one is immune.

Young lovers, a troupe of amateur actors, even the King & Queen of the Faeries soon find themselves tangled up in a web of love and desire.

Laughter, romance and an unexpected donkey combine to create an unforgettable evening in this brand-new outdoor production of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedy - the perfect treat for a midsummer’s night!
