A story of order and disorder, reality and illusion, and love in all its chaos. Set during the preparations for the Duke of Athens’ marriage to the Queen of the Amazons, the play follows a tangle of young lovers whose hearts are turned upside down by mischievous fairies and a misplaced love potion. Meanwhile, a group of enthusiastic craftsmen rehearse a play for the royal wedding — leading to one of theatre’s most beloved “plays within a play.”

Adapted from the Royal Shakespeare Company’s version designed for schools and community productions, this lively and accessible take on A Midsummer Night’s Dream blends music, magic, and mayhem for an enchanting evening of theatre.
