About A Midsummer Night's Dream
A dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels. Two unhappy couples escape from the court of Athens and find themselves in an enchanted forest where a group of amateur actors are rehearsing a play.
Meanwhile, chaos ensues with the intervention of a mischievous fairy named Puck, who becomes involved with the mortals, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.
This immersive interpretation of the classic see’s you swept up in the action. Seating is wrapped around the unfurling scenes while the standing tickets allow the story to be followed on foot.
It’s worth the applause!

A Midsummer Night’s Dream – Bridge Theatre Review
Shakespeare’s original rom-com, upgraded and away with the fairies (in the best possible way).
The Bridge Theatre’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is back — and it’s just as wild, magical, and joyfully unhinged as ever. Returning for a limited run after its five-star debut in 2019, Nicholas Hytner’s immersive production throws audiences headfirst into a dream world of flying fairies, shifting stages, and moonlit revelry.
From the moment you enter, the flower-crown-adorned audience with standing tickets are gently guided into the heart of the action — a shifting in-the-round set up where platforms rise, fairies swoop overhead, and characters emerge from the crowd. At one point, a giant tent ripples out over the audience, giving full-on 90s P.E. lesson vibes in the best, most surreal way. It’s theatre as a playground: unpredictable, vibrant, and delightfully chaotic.
