Cast announced for A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at Shakespeare's Globe

About A Midsummer Night's Dream

One of Shakespeare's most enduring comedies, A Midsummer Night's Dream follows four young Athenian lovers, caught in a confusing love quadrangle and seeking to escape the oppressive forces of family and society, who flee into the forest beyond the city walls. There they find themselves ensnared in a world of mischievous fairies, where King Oberon and Queen Titania fight over the ownership of a changeling child and the trickster Puck causes further confusion among the lovers.

Chaotic, enchanting, and dreamy, A Midsummer Night's Dream has been revived countless times in London and around the world, including for multiple different seasons at Shakespeare's Globe. This year, you can catch another production of this play at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in the summer.
