A Midsummer Night’s Dream – come ‘Rain or Shine’

Professional theatre company Rain or Shine, hailed by ‘The Stage’ as “one of the best companies touring open air theatre” are set to delight family audiences once again this summer with their production of Shakespeare’s magical and hilarious comedy masterpiece A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Severn Valley Country Park hosts a performance on Friday 12 August 2016.

With well-loved characters such as Bottom and Puck, Rain or Shine invite audiences into the intoxicating dream world of fairy queen and king, Titania and Oberon. This fast-paced jaunt through the Bard’s best loved comedy is filled with magic and mischief, inspired by warm nights, young love and ‘An Elizabethan Carnival’ atmosphere.

Sure to delight family audiences from 6 to 96, this is an ideal choice for an outdoor theatrical event, bringing classical theatre into the heart of local communities as they travel across the UK during June July and August from the Devon to Northumberland, and Wales to Norfolk, visiting some of the country’s most picturesque castles, stately homes and gardens along the way.

The tour includes a performance at Severn Valley Country Park, Alveley on Friday 12 August 2016 at 7.30pm. Adults £13, concessions £11, children £6. For tickets phone 01746 781192 or go online via www.rainorshine.co.uk.

Audiences are requested to bring along low-backed seating or rugs, and a picnic to maximise their enjoyment of the al fresco performances. Full details of the tour and venues can be found on the Rain or Shine website and tickets can be purchased from each venue, through Ticketweb via www.rainorshine.uk, or by ringing 0330 660 0541.
