A Midsummer Night's Dream in London

Four young lovers caught in a chaotic love quadrangle flee into the woods outside Athens, where a group of would-be actors are rehearsing for a play that's poised to go wrong. The hapless humans soon find themselves caught in the middle of a bitter dispute in the fairy kingdom, where King Oberon and Queen Titania are in a lovers' quarrel of their own. When the mischievous trickster Puck slips the lovers a love potion and transforms the player Bottom into a donkey-headed beast, confusion and hilarity ensue, as reality threatens to collide with the realm of dreams.

No season at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre is complete without a bit of Shakespeare, and no Shakespeare play is better suited to a beautiful outdoor theatre than A Midsummer Night's Dream, which immerses audiences into an enchanted forest filled with fairies, spells, and romance. This blissful, dreamy production is directed by Atri Banerjee (The Glass Menagerie, Julius Caesar, RSC), with a score by Maimuna Memon (Portia Coughlan, Almeida; The Grapes of Wrath) that's filled with gorgeous folk-infused melodies. Experience Shakespeare's enchanting comedy, filled with witty humour, heartwarming romance, and dizzying twists and turns, right here in a magical outdoor setting.

Book now and kick off your summer with Shakespeare's most magical comedy in the heart of Regent's Park.
