Accessible language, likeable characters and a series of comic capers with an ass combine to make A Midsummer Night’s Dream one of Shakespeare’s most popular works. 

Lysander and Demetrius both fancy Hermia, Helena’s sitting on the shelf, Titania and Oberon are up to no good, and Puck’s got his finger in more pies than Mr Kipling...

Not that the plot is likely to be overly important in this particular production, given the fact that it’s zany funsters Oddsocks who’re at the helm! Expect plenty of madcap mayhem and knockabout fun from this always-value-for-money ensemble.   

Age recommendation 7+
