A Midsummer Night's Dream is Greene Shoots Theatre Company's production of Shakespeare's comedy, performed at the Lower Theatre at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. When four young lovers flee into an enchanted forest, they find themselves caught in a tangled web of spells, mistaken identities and mischievous fairies. Meanwhile, a group of amateur actors prepares a hilariously chaotic play for a duke's wedding, unaware that the fairy kingdom is watching and meddling at every turn. The production promises sparkling wit, theatrical magic, laughter and a little bit of chaos.
Why see this show?
A lively, family-friendly take on Shakespeare's most playful comedy, brought to life by a student and youth company with sparkling wit and theatrical magic. The chaos under the midsummer moon makes for a thoroughly enjoyable evening for audiences aged 5 and over.
