In this vibrant new production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Globe Theatre becomes a space for communal celebration under starry, summer skies.
Enter a world where the veil between the everyday and the extraordinary grows joyfully thin.
As night deepens on the eve of a royal wedding, a company of amateur performers prepares a play for the big day and invite you to step into their story.
Follow a group of giddy lovers chasing desire and connection through a moonlit forest as they collide with playful spirits in a fairy realm where anything is possible. Hearts open, spells go awry, and surprising transformations unfold in a shared night of mischief that fills the Globe with chaos and wonder.
By dawn, everyone has been changed. Come and be part of the magic.
Directed by Emily Lim (Brighter Still, Bradford City of Culture; The Odyssey, National Theatre/Public Acts).
Shakespeare’s original rom-com, upgraded and away with the fairies (in the best possible way).
The Bridge Theatre’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is back — and it’s just as wild, magical, and joyfully unhinged as ever. Returning for a limited run after its five-star debut in 2019, Nicholas Hytner’s immersive production throws audiences headfirst into a dream world of flying fairies, shifting stages, and moonlit revelry.
From the moment you enter, the flower-crown-adorned audience with standing tickets are gently guided into the heart of the action — a shifting in-the-round set up where platforms rise, fairies swoop overhead, and characters emerge from the crowd. At one point, a giant tent ripples out over the audience, giving full-on 90s P.E. lesson vibes in the best, most surreal way. It’s theatre as a playground: unpredictable, vibrant, and delightfully chaotic.
