A Midsummer Night's Dream

02 June 2012 - 05 September 2012

Danger penetrates A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s enduring story of young love. As worlds real and unreal merge, romance struggles to survive and unlikely unions are forged.

Featuring the Open Air Theatre’s celebrated fusion of original music, movement and unique setting, this magical, comedic and seductive tale is set to be one of the theatrical highlights of the year.

Suitable for ages 11+

The approximate running time for this production is 2 hours 40 minutes including an interval.

For 2012 only, we have created a thrust style stage extending the existing staging over the front rows of the lower tier and adding an extra bank of seats to the right of the auditorium.
