Lichfield Garrick’s latest in-house production is this reworking of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Written by Elly Brewer & Sandi Toksvig - and first performed by Nottingham Playhouse more than 30 years ago - The Pocket Dream tells the story of a company of strolling players whose production of the bard’s most popular comedy hangs in the balance. Can a motley crew of makeshift mechanicals possibly save the day?... 

The Garrick’s longtime pantomime favourites, Sam Rabone and Ben Thornton - here reuniting far earlier in the year than usual - are joined in the show by Joe Feeney. Joe starred alongside Sam and Ben in last Christmas’ production of Jack And The Beanstalk, playing the character of the ne’er-do-well Luke Backinanger (geddit?).
