‘Tis almost fairy time …’ Venue: Tapeley Park
It’s 1925, Midsummer’s Eve and the wedding of the century is just around the corner – an event so momentous that the magic of fairyland collides with the real world. In the heart of an enchanted forest, chaos reigns as bickering bohemian fairies clash with a hapless troupe of actors in rehearsal and a quartet of lovers fleeing from reality. With wild love potions, passion, power struggles, follies, blunders and long-simmering tensions at play, anything can happen ...

Set against a vibrant backdrop in which a black and white world transforms into technicolour and the vintage Roaring Twenties meets the boho timelessness of fairyland, this is a wedding celebration you won’t forget! Suitable for all ages, join Sun & Moon this summer for Shakespeare’s most beloved comedy, brimming with drama, humour, romance, and live music. The dynamic ensemble invites you to revel in a spectacular evening of open-air theatre and a touch of midsummer madness.
