Open Air Theatre - A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Knowsley Hall

Thursday, 8th August, 2019
6:30 pm - 9:45 pm

Thursday 8th August 2019 – Come and see an open air theatre performance of William Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ in the magnificent gardens of Knowsley Hall.

This summer The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, are celebrating their 15th birthday and an amazing 425 years since the original company was created. To celebrate this special anniversary, they are touring one of Shakespeare’s most popular and best-loved comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

A brief plot synopsis…

Lovers at war flee to an enchanted forest alive with meddling fairies and sprites. Hoping for their true loves’ course to be set straight, instead they become further entangled and confused as they are caught in the cross fire of a fairy king and queen at odds. Meanwhile a bumbling group of artisans prepare a play to be presented as part of the Duke’s wedding celebration.

Be sure to catch this brilliant company perform Shakespeare as it would have been; all male, in the open air and in full Elizabethan costume with traditional music and dance. This is undoubtedly one of the hottest tickets of the summer.

Bring a picnic and your own low backed seating or rugs and spend a glorious summer’s evening watching this funny, moving and fast-paced production of one of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies.
