“Everything Shakespeare should be. Relevant for today and entertaining” The Guardian
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
Oddsocks will be taking to the road again in the summer of 2025 with another high-energy, feel-good, family theatre show. Shakespeare’s most magical, fast paced, hilarious comedy; “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will be performed in Oddsocks’ inimitable irreverent and knockabout style with live music, comedy action and even some outrageous hunting dogs!
Four lovers run off to the Athenian forest where mysterious woodland creatures play tricks on them with hilarious results and when a troupe of amateur actors decide to rehearse in a glade, the fairies intervention leads to bizarre and outrageous comedy.
Don’t miss out – Catch the Dream!
Reviews of past Oddsocks productions:
“Without doubt the performance was among the best productions that I have seen”
Jersey Evening Post
“A thoroughly enjoyable night out. Once again, they’ve succeeded in making Shakespeare accessible.”
“Many times the beauty and cadence of the bard’s lines ring out even amidst the comedic clamour.”
“a magical combination of farce, physical theatre, silly sight gags, puppetry and, yes, the bard’s immortal prose.”
