own fantasies. Soon after, a plucky am-dram troupe and finally, the power brokers of Athens
themselves, all follow. What awaits them all – far from their contemporary comforts – is beyond their
wildest dreams…

The city and the forest combine for one riotous night in this new version of Shakespeare’s darkly
magical comedy. As the metropolitan elite invade the natural world, nature prepares to fight back in
the form of fairies, transformation, and – if necessary – violence.

On this midsummer night, everything is up for grabs: the youth of Athens, the delicate balance
between the city and the untamed forest and, most crucially, the success of a sure-to-be seminal
production of Pyramus and Thisbe.

Award-winning director Suba Das creates this new production of Shakespeare’s classic tale.

Please note:
This production contains adult content, including depictions of drug use, violence and scenes of a
sexual nature including fetish costumes.

Performances will be broadcast live and are free to watch online
