A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

East London Shakespeare Festival presents...

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

Family friendly and suitable for all ages!

Big Penny Social

Sunday 23rd August - 1.30pm show

Garden opens from 12.30pm so you can come and enjoy Big Penny’s wonderful menu pre-

show – with delicious burgers, pizzas and Sunday roasts! 

Bursting with mischief, chaos, romance and magic, this joyful, family-friendly outdoor

production reimagines Shakespeare’s hilarious comedy with a bold splash of contemporary

flair. Escape into the enchanted forest alongside Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius as

they get more than they bargained for, when a vibrant cast of magical woodland fairies take

matters into their own hands.

With ELSF’s signature high-energy numbers, slapstick comedy, and audience participation,

this is Shakespeare for everyone! Alongside a community engagement programme with lots

of opportunities to get involved.

For younger members of the audience (3+), you can also take part in a pre-show ‘flower-

fairy’ headband making workshops run by cast members. This is at a small additional charge

to show tickets so please add a separate workshop ticket when booking,
