On the illustrious Woodbin stage, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" emerges as a dazzling spectacle as we transport you to 'The Globe', an underworld jazz club in the 1970's.
This adaptation transports Shakespeare's classic comedy into the world of glitz, glamour, danger and whimsy. Amidst opulent sets and dazzling costumes, four young lovers find themselves entangled in a whirlwind of passion and confusion. Oberon, the enigmatic club owner, Puck, his mischievous bar man, and Titania, star of song and stage, create mischief as they weave their spells. As the story unfolds under the spotlight, a troupe of eccentric vaudevillian performers, led by the unforgettable Bottom, stumbles upon the enchanted stage, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy in the most theatrical of ways. This adaptation of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" on the Woodbin stage brings Shakespearean comedy to life in a world of jazz and theatrical extravagance.
