Shakespeare’s classic comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream brings magic, mirth and mayhem to Heath Ledger Theatre

Shakespeare’s classic comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, will bring magic, mirth, and mayhem to the State Theatre Centre of WA this April.

Presented by Bell Shakespeare and Arts and Culture Trust, the fast, funny, and family-friendly play is showing at Heath Ledger Theatre from Tuesday, April 16 to Saturday, April 20.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream takes audiences to Athens, where love is in the air. Besides the royal wedding, which is just days away, there are young lovers dreaming of enchanted futures together.

Hermia and Lysander are besotted with one another, while Helena adores Demetrius. The only snag is that Demetrius loves Hermia—and he’s got Hermia’s father on his side. So nobody is happy. (Shakespeare wasn’t kidding when he said the course of true love never did run smooth.)

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is showing at Heath Ledger Theatre in the State Theatre Centre of WA from Tuesday, April 16 to Saturday, April 20, 2024. For more info and to buy tickets, head to artsculturetrust.wa.gov.au
