A Midsummer Night’s Dream On Stage

Tickets On Sale Now!

A comedy by William Shakespeare presented by Catherine McAuley College Bendigo

One of Shakespeare’s best-known plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream combines romance, fantasy and comedy all in one.

This school-friendly adaptation of the timeless comedy by Shakespeare brings to life a world of enchanted forests, mischievous fairies, and the tangled tales of love and magic. This play showcases the dedication and talent of our College community, promising an unforgettable evening for all ages. Join us as we celebrate the magic of theatre with a performance filled with laughter, love, and imagination!

In Athens, Theseus will marry Hippolyta, Demetrius is engaged to Hermia, Hermia loves Lysander, Helena loves Demetrius (who dropped her because he loves Hermia)… at the same time Oberon and Titania, rulers of the Fairy Folk, are arguing over a boy… at the same time Peter Quince and his inept amateur players are trying to get their act together for the upcoming weddings…

In the woods, the worlds collide as Oberon’s trick against his wife backfires – everyone seems to be falling for the wrong partners! Oberon’s magical servant Puck confuses everyone: the Athenians, the fairies, the actors. She had better make things better by morning…

When morning comes, who knows what happened overnight? The only way to truly find out is to come along to our show!
