A Midsummer Night’s Dream

The beautiful gardens of St John’s College form the perfect setting for Shakespeare's delightful fairy-tale world of love, jealousy and youthful exuberance. This captivating production brings to life all the magic and humour of Shakespeare's best-loved play. Why not invite your children to come along dressed as fairies to add to what promises to be a spectacular evening!

...as hilarious as anything you would see at the RSC —The Times
