Birmingham Rep today announces the launch of Rep Together, a bold new fundraising campaign aimed at raising funds to subsidise 5,000 £5 tickets for young people under 25 and state schools, for its forthcoming 2026 production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

This initiative, which is live from Thursday 23 – Monday 27 October, will support young people, schools and communities across Birmingham gain access to world class theatre, made in Birmingham - making a difference to those that need it most.

Forming part of The Rep’s spring season – the debut season from newly appointed Artistic Director Joe Murphy – A Midsummer Night’s Dream promises a colourful and vibrant reimagining of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, brought to life on The Rep’s main stage from Saturday 25 April – Sunday 24 May 2026.

The Rep Together campaign seeks the support of individuals to help subsidise the cost of these low-price tickets and ensure that theatre remains an inclusive and inspiring space for future generations.

The Rep Together campaign runs from Thursday 23 – Monday 27 October and donations can be made online via the website at: birmingham-rep.co.uk
