First staged to five-star critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Festival in the late 1990s, S4K's A Midsummer Night's Dream, an easy-to-understand musical adaptation of Shakespeare's classic comedy, has since toured extensively across the UK and internationally. Its 2007 debut in Dubai marked the start of its global journey, and the production remains a favourite in schools around the world. This lively, funny and accessible musical retelling of William Shakespeare's timeless comedy masterpiece follows the Duke of Athens as he prepares to marry the Queen of the Amazons. Meanwhile, six local tradesmen rehearse a play for the royal celebrations, four young lovers flee into the woods with marriage plans of their own, and the feuding Fairy King and Queen unleash chaos on the mortal world.
