Experience Shakespeare in a historic setting! This winter, Soulton’s moot hall will host a captivating production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Underneath these very timbers, figures like Thomas Lodge and Sir Rowland Hill once enjoyed Tudor drama. Join us for a magical evening of theater.
From the players, Whole Pack Theatre:
“Fury and discord have plunged the world into a wild, wintry wonderland, where nothing is as it seems. While warring fairies wreak havoc on the climate, four lovers try to find harmony amongst the confusion. Meanwhile, the local amdram group is just trying to rehearse their panto.
A clash of passion, chaos and anarchic revelry bring festive joy to the darkest of days.
The Whole Pack is a newly founded Shakespearean theatre company, whose primary goal is to afford women the opportunities to bring something dazzling and daring to traditional Shakespearean roles.
We are a team of passionate, skilled and creative women, determined to create more opportunities for women in our industry. Between us we have years of training and professional experience in theatre and Shakespeare. While working together on a production, the idea was sparked to create our own all-female Shakespeare company. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is our debut production.”
Please note the hisoric performance space is accessed up one flight of stairs.
