Midsummer Nightmare at Fort Amherst

Dock Road, Chatham, Kent, ME4 4UB

15th June

Midnight Circle Theatre present "Midsummer NightMare".

Enter into a dream of magic, mischief, and a touch of darkness as we take you on a Gothic journey through Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

This outdoor tour will transport you to a world where goblins and supernatural creatures roam the enchanted woods, and nothing is quite as it seems.Dive into the eerie, mysterious side of Shakespeare’s classic play, where the themes of forbidden love, wild entanglements, and the blurring of reality and dreams take on a Gothic, haunting edge. We explore the darker corners of the story, with music, thrilling movement, and an ensemble performance that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat.

Get ready for an unforgettable evening under the stars, where the supernatural comes to life and anything can happen.
