HOOD MEMORIAL HALL, DEVAUDEN
NEW TO DEVAUDEN!
Enjoy a wonderful midsummer evening in the company of fellow theatre goers and a fantastic troupe of players from Folksy Theatre.
Folksy Theatre is a not-for-profit company founded in 2009, who tour rural areas throughout the UK.
The company's professional actors and directors have a wide range of experience in Open-Air, In-House and touring theatre. Using a mix of live performance, music, multimedia and puppetry, they provide innovative, accessible and exciting touring theatre for all ages.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Love, laughter, and a little bit of lunacy — enter a world where fairies meddle, lovers quarrel, and magic runs wild! 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-role playing!
