The Pop-up Globe Shakespeare Company is delighted to present its all-new production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one of Shakespeare’s best known and most loved comedies.

This isn’t dusty old Shakespeare – this is alive, like a party.

Rowdy, rambunctious, and joyful, welcome to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Pop-up Globe style.

“It’s got everything you’ve ever wanted in a play – love triumphant, and a bit with a dog”. David Lawrence, Artistic Director, Pop-up Globe

And at Q Theatre’s Rangatira, it’s luxe! Enjoy all you know and love from Pop-up Globe - one stage surrounded by audience members on three sides; a beautiful Jacobean set and costumes; music and dance; beauty, bawdiness and smut; the lights on so everyone shares the same space, the same light; a cast some of whom you know and love, and some we can’t wait to introduce you to; and some of the most wonderful comedy ever written - this time with the luxury of a roof, comfy seats and air con!

We can’t wait to delight you with this new production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
