A Midsummer Night’s Dream - The Actors’ Church

Join the HandleBards at the Actors Church for a hilarious, high-octane production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Four young lovers find themselves lost in a magical forest, where the Fairy King and Queen are fighting for the possession of a changeling boy. A group of amateur actors head to the same forest to rehearse for a play. Humans and fairies collide and hilarity ensues

“Gloriously eccentric and very, very funny” ★★★★ The Stage
