Event Short Description

Shakespeare’s magical comedy, set in the world of Sussex in the 1990s.

Event Information

Join us in the exuberant, enchanted world of Shakespeare’s magical comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Artistic Director Justin Audibert turns to the Sussex raves of the 1990s for this riotously entertaining new production, co-directed with CFT’s Associate Director Hannah Joss.

Kicking back against the rules imposed by their stuffy elders, four spirited young lovers take off to a forest thronged with mischievous creatures who march to a different beat.

But the king and queen of the fairies are at loggerheads, and psychedelic potions create startling transformations. For a bunch of budding actors, staging a play proves more of a headache than they bargained for. As traditional values go head to head with hedonism and freedom, amidst a whirl of conflicting desires, how will this madcap night of revels end?

Comedian and satirist Munya Chawawa plays Bottom, with Jemima Rooper as Titania. Check CFT website for schedule and updated casting.
