A Midsummer Night’s Dream

by William Shakespeare, directed by Rob Jorritsma

16 May - 1 June 2025, Fridays, Saturdays 7pm / Sundays 2pm  

Castlemaine Theatre Company invites you to step into the enchanted world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s most beloved comedy. This spellbinding production brings together a vibrant cast of new faces and familiar friends, filling the stage with magic, mischief, and mayhem.  

In the moonlit woods outside Athens, four young lovers, a feuding fairy king and queen, and a hapless troupe of amateur actors cross paths with the mischievous Puck. Spells are cast, identities are mistaken, and love takes on the most unexpected forms in this riotous tale of dreams and transformation.  

With boundless energy and theatrical magic, this production promises to be a gloriously memorable take on Shakespeare’s classic. Don’t miss your chance to experience the laughter, romance, and delightful chaos of A Midsummer Night’s Dream!
