A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Returning to the beautiful Valentine’s Park this July East London Shakespeare Festival presents…
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAMFamily friendly and suitable for all ages!
Bursting with mischief, chaos, romance and magic, this joyful, family-friendly outdoor production reimagines Shakespeare’s hilarious comedy with a bold splash of contemporary flair. Escape into the enchanted forest alongside Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius as they get more than they bargained for, when a vibrant cast of magical woodland fairies take matters into their own hands.
With ELSF’s signature high-energy numbers, slapstick comedy, and audience participation, this is Shakespeare for everyone! Alongside a community engagement programme with lots of opportunities to get involved.
BYO Picnics welcome: gates open an hour before the show, so bring a picnic, soak up the atmosphere. There is also a café on-site open throughout the show for refreshments.
For younger members of the audience (3+), you can also take part in a pre-show ‘flower-fairy’ headband making workshops run by cast members. This is at a small additional charge to show tickets so please add a separate workshop ticket when booking.[vcex_spacing][vcex_heading text=”Terms and Conditions” tag=”h3″][vcex_spacing]IMPORTANT Please bring a print out of your ticket confirmation or be able to show your ticket confirmation on a mobile device on arrival.
