Join ULTRAVIOLET Productions for a circus inspired raucous re-imagining of Shakespeare's iconic A Midsummer Night's Dream. A beloved favourite amongst audiences across the country, this hilarious comedy tells the story of vibrant young lovers lost in a forest one fateful Midsummer night.
As they tiptoe deeper into the trees, they discover a family of forgotten clowns, ousted from fame by the younger, snazzier Mechanical Circus Troupe. As feuds ignite and passions swell, these warring carnivals will battle for the spotlight, desperate to win the hearts of their audience. By dawn, only one fact is certain: the course of true love never did run smooth.
An entirely original adaptation of Shakespeare's infamous comedy of love, magic, and dreams, UVP's unique blend of live music, expressive dance and mystifying magic promises to spin a tale as wild as the most love-sick imagination. Bring your picnic blankets and settle in for a fabulous evening of outdoor Shakespeare. Roll up, roll up, and let the circus begin…
