A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Lewes Castle 

“I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was.”

This summer, we invite you to the warm streets of Athens for a magical performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream – staged in the stunning grounds of Lewes Castle by This Is My Theatre.

The woods outside Athens are busy this night. Four young Athenian lovers are lost. Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the fairy-folk, are quarrelling whilst a group of craftsmen (who also happen to be some not-so-very-talented actors) are meeting in secret to rehearse their play.

With its many parts, Shakespeare’s story of love, mistaken identity and magic has remained popular with audiences across the world. Our critically acclaimed production returns this Summer to delight audiences again!

“Shakespeare would have envisioned his play to be enjoyed exactly this way!” – Visit Brighton

“A must-see for theatre fans and an education in how to make Shakespeare relevant again!” – Binge Fringe

Saturday 20th July, 7pm
