A Midsummer Night’s Dream @ Irnham Hall

ULTRAVIOLET Productions is proud to present their 2022 tour that unites their love for the circus & years of experience in touring Shakespeare.

The forest of Fairyland is alive with imagination. An array of lost circus performers wander through the trees. Clowns cry. Dancers sway. And all around, fairies sing hypnotic lullabies.

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.

Roll up, roll up, and let the circus begin…

This performance is outside so be sure to dress for the weather and bring layers, picnic rugs, blankets and chairs (or just whatever will make you comfortable!).
