“Though she be but little, she is fierce!”

A riotous, raucous, and riveting night out, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the story of love in all its confusion.

A professional acting troupe of six outrageous performers arrive in Reading to perform in celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Mistakes, potions, and a couple of pints are sure to make the event one to remember.
