Written by William Shakespeare

Directed by Dario Knight

One of Shakespeare's best loved plays brings love, laughter and magic to the Limelight Theatre in a brand-new adaptation as part of the 2026 Buckinghamshire Shakespeare Festival.

Lysander and Hermia are on the run. Having fled the fury of a father and a tyrant who forbid their love, the couple find themselves lost in the woods, their friends Demetrius (Hermia's state-sanctioned suitor) and Helena (Demetrius' spurned admirer) close behind.

They're not the only strangers in the forest, however. A troupe of local actors are preparing for a Royal Command performance and they - like the lost lovers - are about to fall under the spell influence of the true rulers of the ancient woodland...

This breathtaking new adaptation of Shakespeare's iconic play is produced by QPAC's award-winning in-house storytelling company, Unbound.
