Featuring an electrifyingly original pop score and a boldly reimagined script by Laura Murphy, The Lovers is a fresh, in-yer-face remix of A Midsummer Night’s Dream – bursting with heart, humour, and more than a touch of magic.For centuries, Oberon and Puck have been the ultimate matchmakers, crafting perfect love stories. But in a world where romance is a chaotic mix of swipes, situationships, and ghosting – Oberon worries that true love is becoming extinct. Just when all hope seems lost, four young lovers cross their path – ready for a night they’ll never forget.
Directed by Nick Skubij (Frankenstein, Fourteen), this brand-new, high-energy musical by Shake & Stir Theatre Co blends a killer soundtrack, a phenomenal live band, innovative video design, and a breath-taking cast.
Get set for a totally modern love story – where nothing goes as planned, but everything happens for a reason. It’s a contemporary mix tape of pop bangers presented on a Shakespearean scale.
The production stars Natalie Abbott (Muriel’s Wedding The Musical) as Helena, Jason Arrow (Hamilton) as Demetrius, Jayme‑lee Hanekom (TINA – The Tina Turner Musical) as Puck, Loren Hunter (SIX the Musical) as Hermia, Stellar Perry (The Rocky Horror Show) as Oberon, Mat Verevis (TINA – The Tina Turner Musical) as Lysander, along with covers Indigo Hunt (Hamilton), Jenni Little (TINA – The Tina Turner Musical) and Nic Van Lits (The Rocky Horror Show).
