Demetrius is set to marry Hermia—except Hermia loves Lysander, and Demetrius is actually obsessed with Hermia’s best friend, Helena. When the four young lovers flee into the woods to chase love on their own terms, they stumble into a world ruled by mischievous fairies and magical mischief. As spells are cast and identities confused, nothing and no one remains untouched by the forest’s enchantment.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream remains one of Shakespeare’s most enduring comedies, celebrated for its lyrical language, romantic entanglements, and playful blending of fantasy and reality. At the Bridge Theatre, this timeless classic is reimagined through immersive promenade staging that sweeps the audience into the story—placing them inside the forest itself. Directed by Nicholas Hytner and backed by the team behind the celebrated 2019 run, this bold production transforms Shakespeare’s dream into a dazzling theatrical event.
