Midsummer Mechanicals
  • West End

Shakespeare's Globe and Splendid Productions cordially invite you to Midsummer Mechanicals, the hilarious new follow-up to the play-within-a-play from A Midsummer Night's Dream, premiering in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse this Summer.

"Dear most welcome recipient. Following the success of our recent production 'Pyramus and Thisbe', we, the foremost acting-folk in all Athens, return with an original creation of 'unparalleled beauty, excitement and good actoring' (in the words of author and lead player Nick Bottom). It tells the tale of one extraordinary night where a handsome adventurer meets his destiny in a deep forest!"

Your eyes will pop, your mouth will gape and your sides will split as the Mechanicals present a theatrical dream like no other.

Suitable for the young, the youngest and the young at heart.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
