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

This event is a pay what you feel event - but here is something to consider. Canterbury Children's Literature Festival aims to be financially accessible to all. To do this, many of our costs are covered through donations. If you are willing and able to, instead of booking a free ticket, please consider choosing to pay a small (or large!) amount for a ticket for this event. Gifts of any size will aid us with ensuring future years of the festival will continue to be accessible.
