Keeping Shakespeare's original text at its core, this playful adaptation follows the Jenkins children, who with their bright imaginations, set out to put on the Greatest Play Ever (aka A Midsummer Night's Dream). But with six youngsters having to play all the parts (and arguing who should take which ones), it threatens to end up as a seriously silly spectacle.

Director Toby Hulse's clever and witty reimagining of Shakespeare's classic explores the madness - or is it magic? - of love and all those other adult emotions through the eyes of a younger generation, in a production for everyone.

Whether you're a Shakespeare nut or a Shakespeare first-timer, Southwark Playhouse promise you'll be leaving the theatre with a fresh appreciation of the play - and a wide grin on your face...
