Bally Gill (Theseus / Oberon); Sirine Saba (Hippolyta / Titania); Dawn Sievewright (Hermia); Nicholas Armfield (Demetrius); Ryan Hutton (Lysander); Mathew Baynton (Bottom); Premi Tamang (Puck); Helen Monks (Peter Quince); Emily Cundick (Snout); Tom Xander (Starveling); Charlotte Jaconelli (Peaseblossom)

On Midsummer’s Night, the real and fairy worlds collide.

Four young lovers, faced with the prospect of unhappy marriage or worse, flee the court of Athens and stumble into an enchanted forest. Nearby, a group of amateur actors rehearse a play to celebrate an upcoming royal wedding.

As these mere mortals cross paths with a warring fairy King and Queen, chaos reigns in the natural world. The lines between reality and illusion start to blur and no-one but mischievous Puck knows what is true and what is magic.

Let Shakespeare’s captivating comedy transport you to the most magical of midsummer nights. Director Eleanor Rhode’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is both epic and intimate, and completely full of wonder.
