Adaptivity Theatre Company: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

1 December 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm AEDT

This contemporary adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which received three nominations for the 2023 Tasmanian Theatre Awards, retains William Shakespeare’s original text, while reframing the narrative action around the central characters of Cynthia, a mother in her forties diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease, her husband Sebastian Goodfellow and her daughter Robyn Goodfellow.

This production, exploring dreams as an extension of memories and fears, is filled with all the fun and hilarity an audience would expect from the play, as well as heart-felt explorations of the aging process and the power of love and forgiveness.
