A Midsummer Night's Dream

On tour at 5 venues in 5 towns · 38 performances from Fri 18 Sept to Fri 19 Mar.

Kicking back against the rules imposed by their stuffy elders, four spirited young lovers take off to a forest thronged with mischievous creatures who march to a different beat. But the king and queen of the fairies are at loggerheads, and psychedelic potions create startling transformations. For a bunch of budding actors, staging a play proves more of a headache than they bargained for. As traditional values go head to head with hedonism and freedom, amidst a whirl of conflicting desires, how will this madcap night of revels end? Comedian and satirist Munya Chawawa makes his theatrical debut
