A Midsummer Night's Dream
 

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

By William Shakespeare | Directed by Angus Thorburn

Presented with PIP Theatre, August 15th – 30th

“The course of true love never did run smooth…”

On a midsummer night, four young lovers—embroiled in a love quadrangle—escape the constraints of the city and flee into the woods just outside Athens. There, the line between the real world and the fairy realm begins to blur. Throw in a pair of feuding magical monarchs, a shapeshifting hobgoblin, and a troupe of amateur actors, and they’re in for a wild, wild night.

This August, the Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble (QSE) is set to enchant audiences with a bold and vibrant production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at PIP Theatre in Milton.

Full of live music, comic confusion, and the messy, transformative power of love (with a dash of potent potion), this production of one of Shakespeare’s greatest comedies is sure to warm even the coldest of hearts this winter.

    Elizabeth Cameron Dalman enters in sweeping red chiffon to open the space. It immediately feels ceremonial, generous, and charged with the weight of six decades in dance.
