Outdoor Theatre - A Midsummer Night's Dream
Experience outdoor theatre this summer at Sissinghurst with the Three Inch Fools.
- Booking essential
It’s Midsummer’s eve and deep in an enchanted forest mischief is stirring.
The Fairy King and Queen are feuding, four runaway lovers are tying themselves in knots, and a troupe of quite appalling actors are preparing a theatrical extravaganza destined to impress.
With shapeshifting trouble-maker Puck at the helm, the course of true love never did run smooth.
NOTE:
This performance is an outdoor performance. We recommend that you bring blankets/chairs/cushions etc. to sit on.
Come prepared for the weather with warm coats and waterproofs etc, as the performance will continue come rain come shine!
We ask that you don’t bring umbrellas as these can obscure the view for other people in the audience.
Gates will open from 6pm.
The performance will last approximately 100 minutes (+ a 20 minute interval).
Picnics are welcome at this performance.
