SUMMARY:A Midsummer Night's Dream - Bristol Old Vic
DESCRIPTION:A UK tour of a brand new production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, will be coming to Bristol Old Vic next year. \nThe production comes from theatre company Headlong and Shakespeare’s Globe\, with Bristol Old Vic and Leeds Playhouse. \nIt’s directed by Headlong’s Artistic Director Holly Race Roughan. \nHolly says: “The world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a turbulent one\, the natural environment is upside down and unpredictable\, and the political and social landscape is on edge\, creating a sense of tension that we are all experiencing today. \n“This new staging will explore some of the darker elements of Shakespeare’s well-known comedy\, turning it on its head and asking us to reexamine its themes and subject matter.” \nAdditional creatives announced for the production includes Co-Director Naeem Hayat\, Designer Max Johns and Movement Director Malik Nashad Sharpe. \nHeadlong takes all of the plays they stage and produces them as if they were brand new writing. The company calls this new production of the Shakespeare classic as a ‘striking’ new staging\, asking audiences to look at it ‘afresh’. \nTo escape a society ruled by tyrannical law\, four young lovers flee to the forest beyond the city walls. But the world of the woods has been turned upside down by a fierce battle between the Fairy King and Queen\, Oberon and Titania\, over a stolen child. \nAs their quarrel deepens\, others fall prey to jealousy\, manipulation\, and the dark spells of Oberon’s unruly Puck. As day turns to night and snow begins to fall in summer\, can anyone stop the dream from turning into a nightmare? \nA Midsummer Night’s Dream will be at Bristol Old Vic from 04 – 21 March 2026 \nTickets go on sale to members from 26 June and then general sale from 03 July 2025 \nBooking info below \nHome: https://backstagebristol.com/\nBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/chopsybristol.bsky.social\nTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@chopsybristoltt\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/backstagebristol\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/chopsybaby
