This play, a Shakespearean adaptation of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' performed 'Aesop' style was so much fun to write, direct and perform and our actors at the time Alia Wilson, Fergus Davison and our fantastic musician, Hattie Jolly, an accomplished flautist in her own right, plus professional face painter and artist Shirley Bloomfield and not forgetting my dad, Albert, were all such great company to work with and really embraced the challenge of something quite different. We are always up for new challenges and would love to perform at your garden party so if you have an idea or want a surprise party for that somebody 'special' in your life then please do get in touch for more details. In the meantime, please take a look at our website to see all ten plays we have on offer.

We hosted these guys on our farm on a midsummer day surrounded by trees, woods, good cheeer and lots of kids. We'd asked them to do a Shakespeare quickie: a -30- minutes narrated verrion of Midsummer Night's dream for my wife's significant birthday. They're funny, inventive, unruly and, well, Shakesperean: boys performing girl's roles, asides, hamming it up and lacing the (odd) reference to the original play with pantomime humour and bags of entusiasm. Karen is the star of course but I'm encouraged by Albert who is a reminder that you can be daft at any age. Take a bow.
