A Midsummer Night’s Dream follows runaway lovers, mischievous fairies and a group of determined amateur actors as they become tangled in a world of confusion, enchantment and comic disaster. With rapid character changes, inventive staging and plenty of humour, Four Forty Theatre reimagine this much-loved classic as a lively and entertaining evening for audiences of all ages.
Whether you know Shakespeare well or are discovering the play for the first time, this production promises warmth, laughter and plenty of unexpected delight.
“Four Forty Theatre proves that there doesn’t need to be a high value production to provide high quality entertainment!”
