The Dream (Shakespeare Reimagined)

THE DREAM 

A music festival. A legendary band on the brink. A rock album that could change everything.

Inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and sprinkled with the backstage chaos of rock 'n' roll history, The Dream reimagines the classic tale as a modern music festival where love, ambition, jealousy and magic collide in this family friendly new production.

As Bottom and his band, The Mechanicals, prepare to launch their epic new album, chart-topping supergroup The Lovers are imploding spectacularly at the height of their fame. Somewhere between the dressing rooms, festival fields and fairy-haunted backstage tents, reality begins to unravel.

Live music, larger-than-life characters, festival magic, backstage drama and plenty of laughs take to the main stage in this fast-paced two-actor theatrical adventure.

Music. Magic. Mayhem.

Shakespeare has never rocked quite this hard.
