Join the fun as Mother Nature envelops Shakespeare’s glorious comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre this summer.

The Story of A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Four disobedient young lovers, a group of ambitious artisan performers, a quarrelling Fairy King and Queen, and a riotously enchanted woodland are all encountered on the eve of Midsummer. What could possible go wrong when the servant of the Fairy King, the mischievous shape-shifting Puck, is instructed to cast spells on everyone?

The new woodland residents are in for a wild and frightening night of love, jealousy and complete uncertainty as nature and human nature are intertwined. However, when the nightmare is finished, will reality return to being a dream by morning?
