Bursting with mischief, chaos, romance and magic, this joyful, family-friendly outdoor production re-imagines 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!
There's also a community engagement programme running alongside the tour, with lots of opportunities to get involved.
Romance, magic, feral foraging fairies - what more could you want to bring your summer to life?!
