A Midsummer Night's DreamPerformance Dates: Wednesday 31 July – Saturday 3 August 2019 Performance Times: 7.45pm (plus an additional 2pm matinee on Sat 3 Aug) Performance Venue: Cannizaro Park (Wimbledon) "Lord, what fools these mortals be!" In this ever-popular comedy, a quartet of mismatched lovers, a company of hapless actors and malicious sprites cross paths with the King and Queen of the fairies, entangled in their own domestic dispute. Audiences will be transported to a tainted supernatural forest overflowing with possibilities where the unexplainable magic of falling in love – and the marvel of waking up from the sweetest of dreams – is discovered. Chaos, confusion, trickery and skullduggery reign in this fresh, joyful, accessible and memorable interpretation of the Shakespeare’s most loved comedy. The beautiful setting of Cannizaro Park will once again provide us with a stunning backdrop for this year’s open-air performances (this year performed in the round with amplified sound) and will continue Mayhem’s popular summer tradition of bringing the Bard to South London.
