What is A Midsummer Night’s Dream about?

Enter a world where the veil between the everyday and the extraordinary grows joyfully thin…

Two unhappy couples escape from the court of Athens and find themselves in an enchanted forest where a group of amateur actors are rehearsing a play. Meanwhile, chaos ensues with the intervention of a mischievous fairy named Puck, who becomes involved with the mortals, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.

Hearts open, spells go awry, and surprising transformations unfold in a shared night of mischief that fills the Globe with chaos and wonder.

Facts and critical acclaim
