SHAKESPEARE NORTH PLAYHOUSE · NORTHERN STAGE
A MIDSUMMER
NIGHT'S DREAM
Written by William Shakespeare
Created by Not Too Tame and Matthew Dunster
A Shakespeare North Playhouse, Northern Stage & Not Too Tame co-production
Carlsberg don't do ‘audience engagement’… but if they did, they'd get us to do it.
THE PRODUCTION
10,000 PEOPLE. 1,000 FIRST-TIMERS.
A riotous new production directed by Matthew Dunster and Jimmy Fairhurst — the first Shakespearean-inspired production staged on the Cockpit Theatre at Shakespeare North Playhouse.
Featuring the voice of BAFTA-nominated actor David Morrissey as Oberon, and Mercury-nominated singer-songwriter Nadine Shah making her theatre debut as Titania.
‘Dream’ at Prescot alone saw 10,000 people watch the show, and 1,000 of them had never been to a theatre before — ever. 100% of those audiences would come to another NTT show.
Venue
Shakespeare North Playhouse, Prescot + Epic Space at Northern Stage, Newcastle

Matthew Dunster & Jimmy Fairhurst
