East London Shakespeare Festival presents...
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

Family friendly and suitable for all ages!
Big Penny Social
Sunday 23rd August - 1.30pm show

Garden opens from 12.30pm so you can come and enjoy Big Penny’s wonderful menu pre-show – with delicious burgers, pizzas and Sunday roasts! 

Bursting with mischief, chaos, romance and magic, this joyful, family-friendly outdoor production reimagines Shakespeare’s hilarious comedy with a bold splash of contemporary flair. Escape into the enchanted forest alongside Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius as they get more than they bargained for, when a vibrant cast of magical woodland fairies take matters into their own hands.

With ELSF’s signature high-energy numbers, slapstick comedy, and audience participation, this is Shakespeare for everyone! Alongside a community engagement programme with lots of opportunities to get involved.

For younger members of the audience (3+), you can also take part in a pre-show ‘flower-fairy’ headband making workshops run by cast members from 12.45-1.15pm. This is at a small additional charge to show tickets so please add a separate workshop ticket when booking.
