The Dream is a bright, colourful interpretation with bumbling mechanicals, mischievous fairies, and confused lovers, that will have you laughing throughout.

The result is something far more haunting shedding new light on this well-known play. We give you the opportunity to choose what you see, the dream or the nightmare, the charm or the horror.
The Nightmare is a haunting experience which places the story in WWI. Dark, dangerous woods become the playground to the vengeful spirits and disastrous consequences. If you think you know this story, think again. Will you dream with the fairies or end up in a nightmare? The choice is yours.
