A Midsummer Night´s Dream

In June 2018 we returned to Wilton’s Music Hall with a new ensemble production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. We had a glorious time creating the work and sharing it with our audiences in this iconic building. Using our trademark physicality, interrogation of the darker-than-you-might-think material and inspiration from the Wilton’s architecture, we offered A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM like never before.
