A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Wednesday 26th August 6.30pm
Fairies, lovers, and one very silly donkey – Shakespeare as you’ve never laughed at it before.
Four Forty Theatre invite you into their outrageous take on Shakespeare’s most magical comedy. A Midsummer Night’s Dream follows runaway lovers, magical creatures, and a group of very determined actors who find themselves in over their heads. With quick character changes, playful invention, and a sparkle of silliness, Four Forty transform the classic into a joyful night of theatre for audiences of all ages.
Whether you’re a Shakespeare lover or brand new to his plays, this production brims with warmth, laughter, and unexpected surprises.
It’s a summer dream brought vividly – and hilariously – to life.
This event is taking place in The Horton Gardens.
