Shakespeare's Globe on Tour
A Midsummer Night's Dream
First they brought you Romeo & Juliet. Then they breathed new life into The Comedy of Errors. Now, the world's most famous theatre company - Shakespeare's Globe - hits the road again with its open-air production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Hermia loves Lysander. Helena is head over heels for Demetrius - but he is betrothed to Hermia. When the Duke of Athens tries to enforce the marriage, the lovers take refuge in the woods beyond the city. But they are not alone... A dream-bound tale of dazed lovers, bumbling players and supernatural forces, Shakespeare's classic comedy casts a magical spell...
Performed by the Globe's travelling players among the catacombs of Dyke Road's Victorian Rest Garden, eight actors bring Shakespeare's complete text to life, recreating the Elizabethan touring experience with inventive staging and sublime storytelling.
Bring a picnic and cushions for an outdoor
