A Midsummer Night's Dream
| Wednesday 22 July | 7.30 pm |
Knaresborough Castle grounds - £10 adults,
£8 concessions
Lysander loves Hermia, and Hermia loves Lysander. Helena loves
Demetrius; Demetrius used to love Helena but now loves
Hermia.
Couples fall in and out of love at the drop of a petal, an ass
of an actor is turned into one, even the Fairy King and Queen are
losing their cool - it's all happening in the wood tonight.
Or is it? Maybe it's just a midsummer night's
dream...
Join us for this hilarious yet confusing tale of love, fairies
and magic, in the beautiful setting of the Castle grounds.
The play goes ahead whatever the weather! So bring a
chair, a picnic and wrap up to suit.
During the summer...
