A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Everyman Theatre
26 March - 30 March
Prepare to be transported into a world of magic, mischief, and mayhem as the Everyman Theatre Company proudly presents a spellbinding new production of William Shakespeare’s timeless comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
In a brand-new twist, the show will feature Gloucestershire clown, Tweedy, in the iconic role of Bottom. Tweedy, who is well-known for his fifteen year tenure at Giffords Circus, and who will be touring his own show with Underbelly later this year, is renowned for his physical comedy and slapstick prowess. Tweedy’s unique clowning knowledge promises to infuse the production with extra hilarity, as he also takes on the role of Comedy Advisor for A Midsummer Night’s Dream, giving the classic Shakespeare play a modern facelift.
The production promises to be engaging for audiences of all ages, with its witty dialogue, physical comedy, and unforgettable characters.
The plot unfolds in an enchanted forest in Athens, and intertwines the romantic misadventures of four young lovers, the playful meddling of mischievous fairies, and the comedic antics of amateur actors, culminating in a magical tale of love, mistaken identity and reconciliation. This mesmerising rendition promises to transport audiences into a world of magic, mischief, and mayhem.
