A Midsummer Night's Dream

Goblins and sprites run riot as the King and Queen of the Fairies quarrel, causing chaos for the unsuspecting humans caught up in their magical games. Love, mischief and mistaken identities collide in a joyful journey into Shakespeare’s enchanted world.

Following Flabbergast Theatre’s acclaimed production of The Tragedy of Macbeth, the award-winning company turns its attention to one of Shakespeare’s best-loved plays, combining a respect for the original text with its distinctive physical and irreverent style.

At the heart of the action is a travelling troupe of players and their beautiful vintage haywain, with the cast frantically multi-roling to bring Shakespeare’s characters and magical world to life.

Expect Arcadian folk songs, slapstick comedy, masks, puppetry, physical theatre, song and dance, all woven together through Flabbergast’s playful approach to storytelling.

Fast-moving, imaginative and bursting with theatrical invention, this is A Midsummer Night’s Dream filled with magic, mischief and midsummer mayhem.
