About New Stagers
A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy theatre production by New Stagers at theSpace @ Venue 45 on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set in a summer reality television villa, a bombshell has been dropped: the public have voted to split up the hottest couple in the game. The presenters' stormy relationship is on the rocks, backstage dissent runs high, and the producers step in with their own brand of magic — sending more sparks flying than a typical return from Casa Amor. The show runs 75 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 8 and over.
Why see this show?
Shakespeare's most chaotic love story gets a reality TV makeover that feels unexpectedly natural. A clever and fun adaptation that should work well for audiences who know the original and those who don't.
