Ozact presents
Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream
at Cloudehill Gardens
Shakespeare’s tale of magic, mischief and love.
Trouble arises in Athens, when young lovers Hermia and Lysander flee to escape Duke Theseus’s justice. In hot pursuit are Demetrius, who is in love with Hermia, and Helena who is in love with Demetrius. Chaos!
In the forest, the lovesick foursome encounters the chaotic fairy Puck whose penchant for mischief goes a little too far! Fairy King, Oberon is unhappy with his fairy Queen, Titania. This contest of wills is just too much for a poor group of amateur actors who fall victim to their magic!
Join us for the Ozact’s 30th anniversary production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one of Shakespeare’s most popular and widely performed plays.
The idyllic setting of Cloudehill Gardens with it's formal gardens, majestic trees, colourful floral borders, sweeping lawns and green garden amphitheatre, provides the perfect location for Shakespeare outdoors.
