About this Event

A Midsummer Night’s Dream & Much Ado About Nothing

Enjoy a double whammy of Shakespeare’s beloved comedies, reimagined for new audiences and brought to you by Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

The course of true love never did run smooth”

Set against the backdrop of a rollicking music festival, our players get caught in a tangle of mistaken identities, lovers’ tiffs and mischievous sprites. Shakespeare’s whimsical farce A Midsummer Night’s Dream follows the antics of the fairy world playing havoc with their mortal counterparts. As the hours tick by, will peace be resolved?

Meanwhile, in Much Ado About Nothing, the sharp-tongued Beatrice and Benedick bicker and banter, whilst Hero and Claudio fall in love. As the story unfolds, misunderstandings and deception lead to a series of comedic situations. Will love conquer all?

Brimming with their original dramatic poetry, the Bard’s playful comedies will lift your spirits this spring.

Suitable for ages 8+

Written by William Shakespeare
Directed and abridged by Ali de Souza
Set design by Bobby Joynes
Costume design by Lilly Bryan
