Theseus, the Duke of Athens and\u00a0 Hippolyta, the Amazonian Queen are due to marry in four days but the course of true love never does run smooth. The crazy tangle of desire between the young lovers Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius in Athens becomes even more fantastic when the action moves to the fairy realm of the wood. Here, King Oberon and Queen Titania are at odds, the mischievous hobgoblin Puck is let loose with a magical love potion, and Bottom the weaver is transformed into an ass, in the middle of rehearsing a play with his friends. Colour, passion, song and dance are allowed to run free in Shakespeare\u2019s carnival celebration of midsummer madness. Come along with your rug and picnic (and waterproofs) to\u00a0sit informally\u00a0on the\u00a0grass and join in the fun. For those who do need\u00a0a chair, please contact us when you book online or by leaving a message\u00a0on the box office line\u00a00787 977 3049 so that\u00a0we can arrange this for you.\u00a0For that extra special touch, hampers and champagne can be ordered in advance from NICE at the Castle (01524) 848525.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book your tickets by clicking here.\u00a0Tickets for Saturday 21 June are now sold out.\u00a0Tickets booked online for Thursday and Friday wll be held on the door for collection.
