Do you remember what happened that strange night in the Forest of Athens? Puck does. It’s been a while since A Midsummer Night's Dream and Athens is changing. The forest is being chopped down, and with each tree felled, more magic disappears from the land. It’s time to find Oberon and Titania and restore the beauty of the forest.
The Vanishing Forest follows the events of A Midsummer Night's Dream as Puck joins forces with a host of colourful characters to educate and inspire children on the issue of deforestation with Shakespearean-infused song, puppetry and bags of adventure!
Written by Jonathan Ainscough, composed by Michael Betteridge and directed by Victoria Briggs, The Vanishing Forest is the third and final instalment in English Touring Opera’s climate change trilogy, following The Wish Gatherer (Best Opera at YAMAwards 2024) and The Great Stink.
Recommended for ages 7-11, and a great time for grow-ups too. This event will take place in the Quiet Area of Exeter Library, on the 1st floor (accessible via lift and stairs)
Tickets are £8, or £5 for anybody under the age of 12
