Following their hugely successful, A Raisin in the Sun in 2024, Oxford Playhouse associate company Headlong returns to our stage.
To escape a society ruled by tyrannical law, four young lovers flee to the forest beyond the city walls. But the world of the woods has been turned upside down by a fierce battle between the Fairy King and Queen, Oberon and Titania, over a stolen child.
As their quarrel deepens, others fall prey to jealousy, manipulation, and the dark spells of Oberon’s unruly Puck. As day turns to night and snow begins to fall in summer, can anyone stop the dream from turning into a nightmare?
Discover the magic of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream as you’ve never seen it before.
Directed by Headlong’s Artistic Director, Holly Race Roughan, and co-directed by Naeem Hayat, former Resident Associate Director at Shakespeare’s Globe.
This production is generously supported by Charles Holloway OBE.
