Storyhouse’s Alex Clifton directs Shakespeare’s most popular play, performed both at Storyhouse and the scenic Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre.
On midsummer night, four young lovers flee Athens and lose themselves in the wild woodland, falling under the spell of a highly unpredictable fairy king and queen, and their magical world.
This riotous and gleeful production runs throughout summer. It’s a favourite of families and friends and makes for a brilliantly social theatre trip.
