Enjoy a double whammy of Shakespeare’s beloved comedies, reimagined for new audiences.

Set against the backdrop of a rollicking music festival, our players get caught in a tangle of mistaken identities, lovers’ tiffs and mischievous sprites. Shakespeare’s whimsical farce A Midsummer Night’s Dream follows the antics of the fairy world playing havoc with their mortal counterparts. As the hours tick by, will peace be resolved? 

Meanwhile, in Much Ado About Nothing, the sharp-tongued Beatrice and Benedick bicker and banter, whilst Hero and Claudio fall in love. As the story unfolds, misunderstandings and deception lead to a series of comedic situations. Will love conquer all?

Brimming with their original dramatic poetry, the Bard’s playful comedies will lift your spirits this spring.

Suitable for ages 8+
