The Award winning Flabbergast Theatre bring 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 causing havoc among the humans caught up in their machinations. The action focusses on a troupe of players travelling with their beautiful vintage Haywain frantically multi-role-ing 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.
