A Midsummer Night's Dream

  • Old Swan & Minster Mill Minster Lovell Oxfordshire OX29 0RN UK (map)

Join us in the lovely grounds of the Old Swan & Minster Mill for our all-male, bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream!
Four young lovers find themselves enveloped in the dream-like arms of a magical forest full of sprites, where a feuding Fairy King and Queen are at war over the possession of an Indian boy. A group of amateur actors share the same forest. They’re rehearsing for a play. Fairies and humans collide. Hilarity ensues.
In usual HandleBards style, expect riotous amounts of energy, a fair old whack of chaos, and a great deal of laughter.

Notes on Performance
• Doors open at 6pm, so why not bring a picnic and come and enjoy the beautiful surroundings before the show?
• Chairs, picnics, blankets and any other low level accessories are welcome.
• In case of rain, please don’t bring umbrellas as they block sight-lines for other audience members. Ponchos and raincoats are just as fetching anyway, so please wear these instead!

Time: 7pm
