Shakespeare in the Garden: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Overview

Bustling city life can be stressful and overwhelming, even to resident Sydneysiders. Escape the chaos of the city streets with The Sport For Jove Theatre Company as they present one of Shakespeare's most magical plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream. The company is partnering with the Sydney Morning Herald Autumn Festival of Arts to put on the show in the peaceful sanctuary of the Royal Botanic Gardens throughout March.

Director Damien Ryan strives to capture the pure comedy, romance and adventure of Shakespeare's famous tale. The performance will be a vibrant interpretation of the classical myth, in which young women attempt to break free from the claustrophobic city to frolic in the open woods in search for heart's desire.

Pack some blankets, food and wine and enjoy a picnic on the Tropical Centre Lawn for either a night under the stars or an afternoon matinee. The compelling love story will entertain and enchant, and will calm those tense nerves that come with the city lifestyle.
