The award-winning Flabbergast Theatre brings a rambunctious approach to Shakespeare’s much-loved comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Goblins and Sprites run amok as the King and Queen of the Faeries settle a spat and cause havoc among the humans caught 
up in their machinations.

The action focuses on a troupe of players travelling with their beautiful vintage Haywain, frantically multi-roling and bringing the world to life with joy and excitement.

Arcadian folk songs, slapstick comedy and mask work combine with a respectful approach to the text, an irreverent attitude and a focus on storytelling to bring the magic of midsummer alive with physical comedy, song and dance.

★★★★★ 'a stunning production from a stellar and highly talented cast… real magic’

Behind the Arras

★★★★★ 'A production of charm and genuine ebullience, true to the most innate impulses of theatre’s potential to entertain.'

The Spy in the Stalls

★★★★ 'Like the characters, you’ll leave as though you’re waking from a dream and perhaps, in the words of Bottom, that you “have had a most rare vision'

Rest Less

‘Flabbergast Theatre brings wonderful originality and new life into this beloved play.’
