Content Advisories

This new production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream contains some sexual innuendo and a brief moment of violence.

It explores the use of magical powers in the play and themes of consent and coercion. It looks at both sides of a comedian’s character: both comic and tragic.

It includes scenes that some audiences may find upsetting, including both comic and serious depictions of killing on stage.

The world's no longer what it seems.

In the depths of winter, discover the magic of A Midsummer Night’s Dream as you’ve never seen it before.

To escape a society ruled by tyrannical law, four young lovers flee to the forest beyond the city walls. But the world of the woods has been turned upside down by a fierce battle between the Fairy King and Queen, Oberon and Titania, over a stolen child.

As their quarrel deepens, others fall prey to jealousy, manipulation, and the dark spells of Oberon’s unruly Puck. As day turns to night and snow begins to fall in summer, can anyone stop the Dream from turning into a nightmare?

Leeds Playhouse and Shakespeare’s Globe reunite with Headlong after 2022’s ‘extraordinary‘ ★★★★ (The Observer) Henry V.
