Are you sure

That we are awake? It seems to me

That yet we sleep, we dream.

When a bitter dispute erupts in the fairy kingdom, four fleeing lovers and an unsuspecting weaver called Bottom find themselves adrift in an enchanted forest, down a path of chaos and delusion conjured by the mischievous Puck.

With desire turned upside down, hearts are won, lost, and won again in a realm of dreams where worlds intertwine and the impossible becomes a distant memory. In a blissful new production directed by Atri Banerjee (The Glass Menagerie, Royal Exchange, Julius Caesar, RSC), underscored with folk infused melodies composed by Maimuna Memon (Portia Coughlan, Almeida, The Grapes of Wrath, National Theatre), experience Shakespeare’s most spellbinding comedy as it blossoms once again in our magical outdoor setting.
