A historic tourist attraction will once again transform into an immersive theatre as it hosts a performance one of Shakespeare’s most famous works.

Nothe Fort in Weymouth is the venue for A Midsummer Night’s Dream on Thursday, August 15 from 7pm.

Following This Is My Theatre’s (TIMT) previous touring productions of other classics including The Comedy of Errors and The Tempest, the group will head back to Weymouth with an adaptation of a much-loved story - packed with music, magic and mischief.

Sarah Slator, Artistic Director of TIMT said: “We are very much looking forward to our summer tours this year. We have created this adaptation to be fun and vibrant to capture imaginations and engage audiences of all ages.

“We are really excited to be continuing our summer tradition of magical, family-friendly and comedic Shakespeare in historic places and atmospheric spaces.

"This production of the much-loved play will remain faithful to the original text whilst also suited to the beautiful venues we are due to visit. This will offer our audiences a magical telling and bring to life these well-known characters for the stage.

“Suitable for audiences of all ages and with live music throughout arranged by the company’s Resident Composer Simon Stallard our adaptation of William Shakespeare’s hilarious love story is packed with merriment, music and plenty of mischief.”

Mary-Anne Edwards, Nothe Fort co-General Manager said: “We cannot wait to have This Is My Theatre back at Nothe Fort this summer. The pure talent the group has in comparable, we have used us as a venue for a few years now and their shows are incomparable.
