Award-winning Flabbergast Theatre bring a rambunctious approach to Shakespeare’s much-loved comedy, an exhilarating and hilarious show in which Goblins run amok, the King and Queen of the Faeries settle a spat, and the humans are sent into a spin.
Combining a respectful approach to the text, an irreverent attitude and a focus on storytelling Flabbergast and their multinational ensemble bring the magic of midsummer alive with physical comedy, song, music, and masks.
A show for Shakespeare buffs and newcomers alike.
