A Midsummer Night’s Dream 

Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe Michelle Terry stars as Puck in Shakespeare’s ‘deliciously disruptive and intoxicating comedy’ (27 April to 12 August 2023). On Midsummer’s eve, four rebellious young lovers, a band of ambitious artisan players and a feuding Fairy King and Queen cross paths in an enchanted forest.
