A Midsummer Night's Dream
Tis almost fairy time Its 1925, Midsummers Eve and the wedding of the century is just around the corner an event so momentous that the magic of fairyland collides with the real world. Chaos reigns as bickering bohemian fairies clash with a hapless troupe of actors in rehearsal and a quartet of lovers fleeing from reality. With wild love potions, passion, power struggles, follies, blunders and long-simmering tensions at play, anything can happen ... Set against a vibrant backdrop in which the vintage Roaring Twenties meets the boho timelessness of fairyland, this is a wedding celebration you wont forget! Suitable for all ages, join us this summer for Shakespeares most beloved comedy, brimming with drama, humour, romance, and live music. Our dynamic ensemble invites you to revel in a spectacular afternoon of open-air theatre and a touch of midsummer madness.

The Woods Cafe closes at 4pm, so either come early for some of their delicious food and drinks, or bring your own refreshments. You're welcome to bring a picnic. The toilets are in the main car park, which is a 3-minute walk from the performance space. Please bring your own chairs or blankets. We will have a few benches as a backup, if you don't have a camping chair. The sun will be out! The space is surrounded by trees, so you may find a shady spot, but please bring sun hats and wear sun cream and sometimes the shade can be chilly, so pack a jumper. And sometime it does rain, so pack a rain coat! Umbrellas block the view behind you, so theyre not so good, unless you stand at the back. What happens if it does rain? The show will go on! Unless it torrential thunderstorms, in which case we will cancel the show and let you know via email that morning at the latest. There can be midges in the air! They might not be out at this time, but if you have any bug spray, it might be worth packing that. We'll have some citronella incense sticks.
