The Three Inch Fools present Shakespeare’s most iconic comedy. 

It’s Midsummer’s eve and deep in an enchanted forest mischief is stirring. The Fairy King and Queen are feuding, four runaway lovers are tying themselves in knots, and a troupe of quite appalling actors are preparing a theatrical extravaganza destined to impress. With shapeshifting trouble-maker Puck at the helm, the course of true love never did run smooth.
 
Bring your own cushions, and camping-chairs and join Three Inch Fools on their 10th anniversary open-air adventure. Come prepared for the weather - the performance will continue come rain come shine!
