A Midsummer Night’s Dream

York Stage and the Grand Opera House York unveil an enchanting collaboration, presenting a fresh interpretation of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

In the mystical twilight of Midsummer’s Night, the realms of reality and fairy blur. Four youthful lovers, grappling with the prospect of a loveless union, flee the confines of Athens, wandering into an enchanted forest. Meanwhile, a troupe of aspiring actors rehearse a play to commemorate an impending royal wedding. As these unsuspecting mortals cross paths with the tumultuous clash of a fairy King and Queen, delightful chaos reigns in the natural world.

The lines between truth and magic begin to dissolve, leaving only the whimsical Puck privy to the secrets of what is real and what is spun from enchantment.

With live music, flying fairies and a rave in the woods this brand new production of arguably the Bard’s most well-known and much-loved Comedy is set to be truly magical.
