Four love-drunk teens, escaped from the confines of an oppressive regime, caught in a dispute of increasingly magical proportions. A posse of wannabe actors, determined to put on a play against the odds. The Fairy Queen and King at war, and one wild spirit hell-bent on causing as much havoc as possible. What could possibly go wrong?
Get ready for a fiesta like no other as the raucous 2019 production of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream returns with piñatas, streamers, glitter and a cacophony of brass at Shakespeare's Globe.
This production is specially made to be enjoyed by young and old alike.
#AMidsummerNightsDream
I have had a most rare vision. I had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was.
— Act IV, scene 1
