When a vengeful Oberon, King of the Fairies, vows retribution from his wilful Queen Titania, he sets his playful sprite Puck on a course of action which alters the destiny of the hapless mortals in his path. Love potions, misunderstandings, and sumptuous poetry abound in Shakespeare’s most popular comedy.
Performed at full tilt by six indefatigable actors, this imaginative touring production is full of warmth, magic, and mischievous shenanigans.
Returning to the Jack Studio after last year’s highly acclaimed Much Ado About Nothing, Bear in the Air Productions turns their refreshing and entertaining eye to the magical forest fairies, the lovelorn runaways and the eager mechanicals of Athens.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is produced by Bear in the Air Productions, an award-nominated theatre company whose troupe of travelling players bring one of Shakespeare’s most loved comedies to glorious, vivid life.
