What's On

Ozact Theatre Company presents A Midsummer Night's Dream
 

Ozact Theatre Company presents, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Shakespeare’s tale of magic, mischief and love.

Trouble arises in Athens, when young lovers Hermia and Lysander flee from Duke Theseus’s justice. In hot pursuit are Demetrius, who is in love with Hermia, and Helena who is in love with Demetrius. Chaos!

In the forest, the lovesick foursome encounters the chaotic fairy Puck whose penchant for mischief goes a little too far! Fairy King, Oberon is unhappy with his fairy Queen, Titania.  This contest of wills is just too much for a poor group of amateur actors who fall victim to their magic!

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare’s most popular and widely performed plays.

Ozact Theare Company’s adaptation will bring the play to life in some of Victoria's most interesting and spectacular locations, all with the help of some of Australia's greatest performers.

So, dust off the folding chairs and join us for some Shakespeare in the Great Outdoors this Summer.

We can't wait to see you!

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
  • Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
