In a forest where faeries are beautiful but not to be trusted, an upcoming wedding leaves a group of young adults struggling to find love outside the normal rules. Among the faeries, a seemingly trivial conflict between rulers grows more dangerous as evening falls. In the middle of this chaos is a theatre group that just wants to get on with their rehearsals. As these three groups are thrown together, all must tread carefully to avoid falling into the snares and traps that the sinister night has in store for them. Inspired by Scottish folklore and culture, this production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream explores power and gender dynamics in one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays.
