A Midsummer Night's Dream

By William Shakespeare

“Are you sure
That we are awake? It seems to me
That yet we sleep, we dream”

When a bitter dispute erupts in the fairy kingdom, four fleeing lovers and an unsuspecting weaver called Bottom find themselves adrift in an enchanted forest, down a path of chaos and delusion conjured by the mischievous Puck.

With desire turned upside down, hearts are won, lost, and won again in a realm of dreams where worlds intertwine and the impossible becomes a distant memory.

In a blissful new production directed by Atri Banerjee (The Glass Menagerie, Royal Exchange; Julius Caesar, RSC), underscored with folk-infused melodies composed by Maimuna Memon (Portia Coughlan, Almeida; The Grapes of Wrath, National Theatre), experience Shakespeare’s most spellbinding comedy as it blossoms once again in our magical outdoor setting.
