A Midsummer Night's Dream

presented by OVO
by William Shakespeare
directed by Adam Nichols

This musical adaptation of The Dream will transport audiences to the glittering, hustling, hip-swivelling age of classic disco!

In the beige 1970s in a down-at-heel working men’s club in northern England, pot washer Nick Bottom dreams of a music career. Meanwhile, Mia, Helen, Dean and Andy are snogging, drinking, fighting and arguing, much to the disapproval of their parents.

Until… a mystical figure appears and they’re all transported to a dream world where an enchanted palace offers games of music, dreams and fantasy. But will Nick find his voice, and will the lovers find a partner before the music stops?

This hugely entertaining, musical re-mix of Shakespeare’s evergreen romantic comedy features some of the best dance music ever produced, from the likes of Gloria Gaynor, Bee Gees, Donna Summer, The Jacksons and many more, played by a live band under the stars.

OVO returns to the Minack with its fourth musical Shakespeare following the country and western The Winter’s Tale (2021), rock and roll Much Ado About Nothing (2018) and Minack Trophy winning As You Like It (2016) set in the summer of love.
