‘A Midsummer Nights Dream’ – Open Air Theatre at Dalegate Market, North Norfolk Coast

To celebrate 400 years since Shakespeare’s death and the 10^th birthday of Dalegate Market, the North Norfolk Coast shopping site is teaming up with Norfolk based professional theatre company, Strange Fascination, for a week of Open Air Theatre.

The Strange Fascination cast will be performing a wonderfully funny and interactive version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, set in the 1920s.

Performances begin on Saturday 6^th August, with a matinee and evening performance, and run throughout the following week, with the final performances on Saturday 13^thAugust.

Strange Fascination unites Norfolk based practitioners Paul Andrew Goldsmith, Simon Michael-Morgan and Daisy Plackett to produce compelling original theatre whilst providing sustainable employment for local professionals.  Their belief that ‘any area can provide a playing space’, has allowed them to perform at varied venues, giving the audience a unique theatrical experience each and every time.

‘A Midsummer Nights Dream’

In Strange Fascinations version of the classic Shakespeare comedy, five actors multi-role, bringing the dazzling text to life in scenes of comedy, magic and delight.  Expert quick changes, keep the action pacey and exciting, and the skill of the cast performing different roles adds to the enjoyment of the piece.

‘The Course of true love never did run smooth’

In 1920’s Athens, we find a young lover Hermia in love with Lysander and he equally in love with her – whilst Demetrius is supposed to marry Hermia, and Helena is madly in love with him. The Duke of Athens tries to enforce the marriage, which leaves the lovers taking refuge in the woods and wandering into the midst of a dispute between the King and Queen of the fairies. Meanwhile, a small group of labourers attempt to rehearse a play to celebrate the impending nuptials, but the mischievous fairy Puck has other ideas for them all.

Strange Fascination previously ran their version at Overstrand in the summer of 2015 to much critical acclaim:

‘Awesome show! The energy, set, acting, interaction, adaption….made it the most accessible Shakespeare I’ve seen’

‘Outstanding’

‘Brilliant’

‘Exceptional’

‘Hilarious’ 

So pack a picnic, relax and enjoy live open air theatre with all the family.
