Twenty-six characters. Nine actors. One unforgettable dream. Step into a bold new vision of A Midsummer Night's Dream adapted by Tony Award winner Jeffrey Whitty (Avenue Q). Fresh, fast and fiercely funny, experience the UK premiere of this iconic Play On Shakespeare modern verse translation directed by Drama Desk nominee Kim Weild. Brought to life by a cast and team of Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama artists, this is not your mother's midsummer. Bursting with magic, mischief and queer transformative joy, don't miss the next generation of Broadway in the making.
