Overview

Shakespeare's hilarious and fantastical comedy is upcycled and rewired for the environmental generation

Our unsuspecting mortals, camped at an environmental protest, are unaware of the fairies lurking in the woods, ready as ever to unleash magic and mayhem upon any human who dares to venture into the mystical wood. Join Oberon, Titania, and the ever-playful Puck as we weave our way through this tale of tangled lovers, warring fairies, and hapless human beings.

Using Shakespeare’s timeless imagery, we emphasise the importance of the environment and using our earth’s resources wisely. The costumes and sets will all be made from recycled materials, and we hope our audiences will get into the spirit and bring along some upcycling ideas of their own.

So, pack your picnic and chair or rug, dress in weather appropriate clothing, and join Heartbreak Productions for Shakespeare’s eco-centric, outdoor-theatre favourite, A Midsummer Night’s Dream!

Please bring a picnic and something to sit on.

The performance starts at 7:30pm and lasts around 2 hours 15 minutes including an interval.

Extras

Please bring something for a picnic.

Host & Everything Else

Dress for the weather. Remember that even on a hot day the temperature can drop quickly as the sun sets. Please bring a picnic and something to sit on. This event is uncovered; this means bring your own chair / rug and waterproofs / suncream! Umbrellas are discouraged as they obscure the view; waterproofs are better.
