A Midsummer Night's Dream

Join the renowned Young Actors Company Peterborough Academy this July at the beautiful Tolthorpe Hall for a magical open-air production of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Step into a world of mischievous fairies, enchanted forests, confused lovers, and unforgettable laughter as our talented young actors bring one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated plays to life in the stunning surroundings of the park. Filled with humour, magic, and wonder, this timeless tale is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare for audiences of all ages.

Pack a picnic, bring your blankets and folding chairs, and join us for a wonderful afternoon of family entertainment. There is something truly special about watching Shakespeare performed outdoors, surrounded by nature, just as theatre was meant to be enjoyed.

At YAC, we believe that theatre should be accessible to everyone, and we are passionate about giving our young actors the opportunity to experience performing Shakespeare in such a beautiful and inspiring setting. For that reason, tickets are completely free of charge.

If you are able to do so, we kindly suggest a donation of £5 per booking. All donations help us continue creating exciting performance opportunities for young people and keep events like this accessible for our community.

We can’t wait to welcome you for an unforgettable summer’s afternoon of theatre.
