Details

On a midsummer's night Hermia and her lover Lysander flee from Athens and Demetrius - the man Hermia's father favours as a son-in-law. Demetrius follows, pursued by Helena who loves him in spite of being spurned in favour of Hermia. On the same night Bottom and his friends leave Athens to find somewhere quiet to rehearse their play which is to be performed at the wedding feast of Duke Theseus. Drawn into the woods they enter a world of magic, mystery and wonder. To reignite the excitement and thrill of being back in the theatre after a long hiatus, we are bringing this classic comedy to life through a colourful, psychedelic Jazz world! Expect gorgeous fairies deep in the vibrant, funky forests of Athens, groovy music and good times
