Counterpoints Arts — through its Clapham Park Creative Co-op project — and Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing are delighted to be collaborating with Shakespeare’s Globe to include Clapham Park Estate as part of this year’s Globe on Tour. With a diverse cast of players, this special performance of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ forms part of the Globe’s first ever neighbourhood tour, bringing Shakespeare to the communities closest to them.
The talented cast will unravel tales of lovers, exiles, dreamers and wanderers, sharing what the Globe is all about – storytelling, laughter, tears, nature and of course, theatre.
Don’t miss the chance to experience this free mid-week matinee performance of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream — with its comedic chaos of love and magic — performed by the Globe Touring Ensemble here at the Clapham Park Cube.
(And in case you’re not sure if Shakespeare is for you, we highly recommend listening to rapper Akala talking about the power and relevance of Shakespeare today.)
About ‘A Midsummer’s Night Dream’
When the forces of nature meet the power of love, it’s going to be a night to remember. They say ‘the course of true love never did run smooth.’ Too right.
Four love-sick teens run away to an enchanted forest, where the fairy King and Queen are at war. In the forest, the players – including Bottom – are rehearsing for a play, against all the odds. Meanwhile, wild spirit Puck works with the fairy King to wreak havoc, and chaos ensues!
Infused with mischief and mayhem, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the story of feuding lovers and magic, a forest and a donkey.
