The plot…
It is midsummer in 1600. The Assembly House is owned by Sir Thomas Cornwallis who, always keen to keep up appearances, has invited everyone of High Society to celebrate the forthcoming wedding of his daughter.
Eager to jump on the fashionable bandwagon, Lord Cornwallis has heard that a new play about mischievous faeries is all the rage in London, and has asked a local acting troupe to perform the play, as the climax to his evening’s festivities.
However, it looks as if Lord Cornwallis is in for trouble. His daughter is not keen to get married – and on top of that, the acting troupe he has hired are not very good! They do not seem to know the lines, are squabbling between themselves about who gets the lead role and cannot decide whose Bottom is best!
Can Lord Cornwallis keep control of the night, see his daughter safely married off, and survive what looks like turning into a murderous Midsummer Nightmare?
