Two and a bit Shakespeare plays, One Midsummer night’s fun

A Midsummer Night’s Dream Shakespear-ience

Balcombe’s community theatre group, together with some of the village’s talented teen actors, present a seriously unserious Shakespeare shake-up!

First up, a hapless youth theatre group takes on Hamlet, but things don’t play out as you’d expect. Can they persuade their own performers not to go on strike? Some familiar characters from other Shakespeare plays add to the fun.

Then there’s moonlight, midsummer magic, mischief and mayhem in the air as the Victory Players takes on our first ever bit of Shakespeare. They’ve chosen one of their favourite comic strands from A Midsummer Night’s Dream — a bunch of local amateurs stages a truly tragic performance for the Duke’s wedding reception.

Take part in the Shakespeare-themed quiz and don’t forget to bring some cash for the raffle.
