A Midsummer Night's Dream

Lovers!

Faries!

Mechanicals!

Magic!

All will come together in the forest on this Midsummer Night’s Eve.

As a dispute between the fairy King and Queen grows, a set of unsuspecting lovers and a rag-tag team of Amateur thespians are about to get caught in the crosshairs as they enter the Athenian forest for a night of magical mayhem.

Shakespeers first production as a company gives Shakespeare’s most popular comedy a psychedelic makeover straight out of the Summer of Love. Whether it’s your first foray into Shakespeare or your fiftieth, this is Shakespeare for everyone!

Shakespeers is an innovative new theatre and workshop company based in the UK. It was founded by Sarah Tresillian, who wanted to combine her passion for Shakespeare with her love of teaching and help tackle elitist notions surrounding Shakespeare. The company’s key mission is to make Shakespeare accessible for all.
