A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Henfield Theatre Company are excited to announce that their next summer production, will be an open air production of Shakespeare’s best loved comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream in The Sussex Prairie Garden, Wheatsheaf Road, Henfield.
Set in Athens on a Midsummer night, four young lovers find themselves wrapped in the dream-like arms of an enchanted forest where sprites lurk and fairies rule. While the Fairy King and Queen bicker, their paths are crossed by Bottom, Quince and their workmates rehearsing a play within a play. Chief mischief-maker Robin, is on hand to ensure that the course of true love is anything but smooth, and ensure that everything comes right in the end!
Directed by Peter Ingledew, we will be aiming to provide you with an evening of love, magic, chaos and fun in an enchanted setting.
