Bard in the Bookshop Presents: A Midsummer Night's Dream
About this Event
What if you stumbled into your local bookstore and found yourself lost in an enchanted forest? Join us for a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
At Gower Street Waterstones, Shakespeare isn't just on the shelves - it's unfolding in the aisles.
With only three days of rehearsal, Will & Co will breathe life into the Bard's work in a whirlwind of energy, passion, and spontaneity. Presented in a promenade style, each performance distils the essence of a Shakespeare play into a vivid, accessible experience - where scenes emerge around you, characters pull you into their stories, and the line between audience and stage disappears. This is Shakespeare unplugged: raw, immediate, and alive in the heart of a bookstore.
And if you're curious about the magic behind the scenes, you can even spot us rehearsing over the weekend before, where the creative process becomes part of the performance.
We strip Shakespeare back and present it to you close up - unpredictable, bold, and happening between the bookshelves.
Performances: Monday 27th July & Tuesday 28th July at 7pm
