Out of Shakespeare’s 38 timeless plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is undoubtedly one of the best-known and most loved. This March, Bell Shakespeare unveils a breathless new production of the Bard’s classic comedy following four lovers romantically entangled in a magical forest. This funny, family-friendly production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will unfold on the Sydney Opera House stage from March 2-30, kicking off Bell Shakespeare’s stellar 2024 season.
Bell Shakespeare’s Artistic Director Peter Evans has pared back the play into 100 minutes of magic, mirth and mayhem. Audiences will be swept into the enchanted world of two young couples who are tangled in a love quadrangle. In pursuit of a happy ever after, the Athenians escape to the forest under the cover of darkness where they meet a mischievous sprinkling of fairies who throw their future into jeopardy.
Ella Prince plays Puck, along with Ahunim Abede as Hermia, Isabel Burton as Helena, Mike Howlett as Demetrius, Matu Ngaropo as Bottom, Richard Pyros as Oberon, Imogen Sage as Titania and Laurence Young as Lysander.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream will play at the Sydney Opera House from March 2-30 and you can book tickets from $35 here.
