Experience Riotous Youth’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a country barn. This fast-paced, 80-minute version is performed entirely by young people.
In Athens, laws are unyielding, and freedom is non-existent. But the rules are very different in the ancient forested mountains, where mysterious creatures of folklore live on.
An amateur acting troupe rehearse a play, fairies and other creatures range everywhere and four lovers must abandon the world of civilisation to sort their lives on their own terms (or so they think). Come and see if they can all make it through the woods, where change is the only constant and illusion the only reality.
Experienced professionals direct young people ages 10–18 in Shakespeare’s tale of love, mischief and transformation.
‘Ay me! for aught that I could ever read,
The course of true love never did run smooth.’
