About the event
A magical play full of fast-paced, interactive fun for all the family
A fun, fast-paced family version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, it has all the comedy and confusion of the original play but is considerably shorter (about 50 minutes) with more audience interaction, songs, water pistols and none of the long boring speeches. However, within the informal theatrical style, occasional snippets of original text slip in, allowing everyone to enjoy some authentic Shakespearean language.
Recommended for ages 5-11, but suitable for all!
In collaboration with the Canterbury Shakespeare Festival
