Peter Quince presents A Midsummer Mechanical's Dream

After a sell-out season of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 2021, The Australian Shakespeare Company is bringing back Melbourne’s favourite comical characters in PETER QUINCE PRESENTS: The Athenian Players in “A MIDSUMMER MECHANICAL’S DREAM.”

Playing from 25 February to 12 March 2022 at the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Melbourne Gardens, the romp will leave audiences in stitches as Shakespeare's artisans of laughter workshop some of the Bard’s most famous and funny material in the hope of being selected to perform at the Duke’s upcoming wedding.

Starring Kevin Hopkins as Peter Quince the Carpenter, Madeleine Somers as Snug the Joiner, Andrew Bongiorno as Nick Bottom the Weaver, Anthony Rive as Francis Flute the Bellows Mender, Scott Jackson as Tom Snout the Tinker and Hugh Sexton as Robin Starveling the Tailor, audiences will be treated to a creative and endearing comedy as the thespian tradesmen present their hilarious interpretation of Shakespearian characters during a rollercoaster ride through ten of Shakespeare’s best plays.
