The Handlebards A Midsummer Night's Dream

Join the HandleBards for a hilarious, high-octane production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Four young lovers find themselves lost in a magical forest, where the Fairy King and Queen are fighting for the possession of a changeling boy. A group of amateur actors head to the same forest to rehearse for a play. Humans and fairies collide and hilarity ensues.

This is an outdoor production, so please bring your own chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather!

Gates open one hour before, so bring a picnic and come and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Please note that due to our license, only alcohol purchased on The Reader's premises may be consumed at this event.

Chairs, blankets and any other low-level accessories are welcome.

In case of rain, please don’t bring umbrellas as they block sight-lines for other audience members. Ponchos and raincoats are just as fetching, so please wear these instead.

You can bring your tickets digitally, on a phone or tablet, so save the trees and please don’t print them.
