A Midsummer Night’s Dream

  • Show Information

By William Shakespeare

The Lyric and Filter’s riotous reinterpretation of one of Shakespeare’s best loved plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, comes to Exeter Northcott, after its critically acclaimed London and international festival runs.

Featuring original live music, this classic tale of young lovers and warring fairies is given a unique and irreverent twist.

Don’t miss one of the most exciting and inventive Shakespeare productions of recent years.

“Filter’s Dream is part rock gig, part exuberant joke, exploding the conventions of the form and remaking them in dazzling new shapes”
