Love, laughter and a little bit of lunacy promised at a Powys theatre performance

Folksy Theatre will be performing A Midsummer Night's Dream at a Powys venue.

They will be at the Willow Globe Theatre at Llanwrthwl near Rhayader on Saturday, August 22 at 2pm until 4.30pm

Love, laughter, and a little bit of lunacy - enter a world where fairies meddle, lovers quarrel, and magic runs wild! This summer, go along for a breathtaking open-air performance of William Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.

In the heart of an enchanted forest, four young lovers flee the constraints of society and stumble into a realm ruled by mischievous fairies, feuding royalty, and a troupe of would-be actors with more enthusiasm than talent. What follows is a wild night of mistaken identities, magical transformations, and love gone deliciously wrong - enjoy Shakespeare’s dazzling verse and Folksy’s twist of live music, audience interaction and frantic multi-rolling!

Folksy Theatre are a not-for-profit, rural touring theatre company, who specialise in Shakespeare productions and adaptations of children's literature. Folksy use a mix of live music, puppetry and audience interaction to bring their productions to life and make them accessible for all ages, cultures and backgrounds.

Tickets are £14 for adults, £7 for under 16's and £35 for a family ticket for two adults and two under 16's

This show is supported by Arts Council Wales Night Out scheme
