As midsummer approaches, four young lovers flee into the woods, where mischievous fairies and a troupe of hapless amateur actors are about to collide in the most glorious chaos Shakespeare ever wrote.
Northfield Theatre's own ensemble company brings this beloved comedy to life with a production inspired by English folklore and the wild landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. Director Sam Clarkson fills the stage with living trees, flickering lanterns, and a Puck who moves through the air on aerial silks.
The mechanicals' play-within-a-play is performed with warmth and belly laughs, Bottom's transformation is genuinely startling, and the fairy world shimmers with an otherworldly beauty that will captivate audiences of all ages.
A perfect summer evening at the theatre. Suitable for ages 8 and above.
