A Midsummer Night's Dream at The Cockpit

Head to a festival to celebrate a wedding, run away for love, get lost, have fairies manipulate your romantic affections, fight, sleep, wake up, get married, watch a play; all in a Midsummer Nights Dream.

Theseus holds a Midsummer festival to celebrate his wedding to Hippolyta, but four days of celebrations take a turn when four young lovers flee into an enchanted forest, and the world of fairies and humans collide. As the fairy King and Queen continue to war and a group of amateur actors rehearse for their performance at the wedding reception, it appears that the pranking Puck is the only one that knows what is real and what is magic.

Shakespeare’s captivating comedy is performed by graduating students of Bodens College of Performing Arts, many of whom have already achieved places at London’s very best drama schools.
