Description A Midsummer Night's Dream will create a pop-up theatre event of one of Shakespeare's most popular plays. Expect ferociously beautiful poetry, robust physicality, anarchic invention and a donkey, as Shakespeare's oh-so-magical play is brought to life this summer. It's a love letter and a cheeky wink to Wellington's art culture, built by a team of talented and passionate theatre makers. A Midsummer Night's Dream is the perfect opportunity to experience the Bard at his best!.
