An exhilarating 80s musical adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, powered by a live band and iconic soundtrack from the decade that defined excess!
This isn’t just Shakespeare with a twist, it’s a full throttle theatrical experience where the Bard’s original text collides with neon lights, sequins and the unmistakable pulse of real 80s anthems.
Think rock diva fairies with attitude, a group of amateur actors with 80s cheese, star crossed lovers with Walkmans and a forest alive with a kinda magic!
Accompanied by a live band playing the music of the Eurythmics, Bonnie Tyler, Heaven 17, Irene Cara, The Weather Girls and more, Electric Dreams invites you into a magical world where rules bend, chaos reigns and everything shimmers under a haze of neon.
No rewrites – pure Shakespeare, wired into the spirit of the decade that believed more was more and more meant magic!
