Outdoor Theatre: 440 Theatre - A Midsummer Night's Dream

For the final show in our Summer of Shakespeare, join Four Forty Theatre for a riotous production of

A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Four Forty Theatre invite you into their outrageous take on Shakespeare’s most magical comedy. A Midsummer Night’s Dream follows runaway lovers, magical creatures, and a group of very determined actors who find themselves in over their heads. With quick character changes, playful invention, and a sparkle of silliness, Four Forty transform the classic into a joyful night of theatre for audiences of all ages.

Whether you’re a Shakespeare lover or brand new to his plays, this production brims with warmth, laughter, and unexpected surprises. It’s a summer dream brought vividly — and hilariously — to life.

Known for fast-paced character-swapping and fearless reinventions, Four Forty Theatre bring their signature style to A Midsummer Night’s Dream — a riot of desire, enchantment, and theatrical mayhem.

Tickets: Adult £18 | Under 21: £10.50
