A Midsummer Night's Dream was first produced at The Bridge in 2019. Its immersive format -- which allows 400 people to stand close to the action with 670 seats wrapped around -- enabled over 100,000 people to see the production six years ago. It was filmed by NTLive.

Return to the forest this summer – a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels. The seating is wrapped around the action while the immersive tickets allow the story to be followed on foot.
