NOT TOO-TAME CO-PRODUCTION

★★★★ The Stage

​

★★★★ Guardian, The Telegraph, The Times 

​

It’s all kicking off in the woods! Two warring fairies are willing to destroy the world after a barney over a little lad, and four chaotic kids are off on a drug-induced love mission - Welcome to the party!

​

Join Not Too Tame for a riotous ride through the forest at night, for a tale of wild weddings, mistaken identity and a staging of Shakespeare’s best known comedy where not everything is as innocent as it seems. When dreams merge with reality it’s not always clear who’s who and what’s what - so keep your wits about you!

​

With more merriment than you can shake your ruff at, a big dose of bewilderment and a dash of disaster, this is a Midsummer Night's Dream not to be watched, but experienced. Pick up your petticoat and fasten your corsets, there’s a donkey on the loose.
