About Walthamstow Toy Library
East London Shakespeare Festival in partnership with The Toy Library presents…
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Join us at Langthorne Park for a magical outdoor performance.
Bursting with mischief, chaos, romance and magic, this joyful, family-friendly outdoor production reimagines Shakespeare’s hilarious comedy with a bold splash of contemporary flair. Escape into the enchanted forest alongside Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius as they get more than they bargained for, when a vibrant cast of magical woodland fairies take matters into their own hands.
With ELSF’s signature high-energy numbers, slapstick comedy, and audience participation, this is Shakespeare for everyone! Alongside a community engagement programme with lots of opportunities to get involved.
The show begins at 7.30pm, but why not arrive early to make an evening of it? Pick up a drink, cake, ice cream or popcorn from the Pavilion Café from 6.30pm, bring a picnic, and settle in for a wonderful night of theatre under the stars.
We recommend bringing cushions and blankets to keep cosy and comfortable. The performance will go ahead whatever the weather, so please come prepared.
Suitable for all ages, although children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult. Please note that tickets are non-refundable.
Venue: Langthorne Park, E11 4YG
Note there is no parking on site.
