Four Forty Theatre, the 'most ambitious theatre troupe going' are bringing a two act production of The Bard's greatest comedy to Home Farm!

About This Event

Experience Shakespeare under the stars! Join Four Forty Theatre for a side-splittingly funny, fast-paced production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night’s Dream — performed live at Home Farm Glamping, Elstree.

This open-air theatre experience combines Shakespeare’s classic comedy with a fresh, chaotic twist. With only four actors playing every role, expect non-stop laughter, quick-fire character changes and heaps of audience interaction. It’s clever, chaotic, and completely unforgettable — perfect for a summer’s evening out with family or friends to celebrate the August Bank Holiday.

Bring a picnic blanket, a picnic dinner, and settle in for an evening of laughter and midsummer magic.
