A Midsummer Night's Dream

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is coming to Wytham Woods thanks to Oxlip Theatre Company – an ensemble outfit of young actors and musicians.

Conducted under the watchful eye of Oxford-based film maker and director Ruth Platt, this year’s production has more bite, music and mushrooms!

Part of the Wolvercote and Wytham Summer Festival, the Oxlip Theatre Company, an ensemble of 17-21 year olds, returns to the magical and mysterious Wytham Woods on September 3-4 to deliver their latest interpretation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream

in this heady lovers’ quarrel, you can expect the same wonderful, professional delivery that the cast provided last year.

This year there is also a matinée to enable more families to come. The open air performances take place behind the Swiss Chalet, about a 20 minute walk into Wytham Woods.

There will be a free shuttle available an hour before the start of each show, and again after the show.

This time performance will be ‘in the round’, with the audience seated on the ground around the stage, with options for bringing fold-away chairs in the outer rings of the audience area. You will need to bring cushions and rain-proof gear. As we proved last year, the show will go on come rain or shine!

A Midsummer Night’s Dream will run on September 3-4 and is suitable for 8+. Tickets include a free drink during the interval) and under 8s go free. Book at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-midsummer-nights-dream-tickets-360367538007
