Join us for a magical performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Ngaio Marsh Theatre!
Experience the whimsy and wonder of Shakespeare’s classic play live from May 14th to 16th 2026, with 3 shows at 7.30 pm and a special Saturday matinee at 2.00 pm.
It’s the perfect way to enjoy an evening filled with laughter, love, and a little bit of mischief. Brought to you by DramaSoc, the University of Canterbury Drama Society. With a cast and crew made up of students and members of the wider Christchurch community, this show is full of local talent and creativity.
Set in an enchanted forest on the outskirts of Athens, the play follows four young lovers whose relationships are thrown into chaos by mischievous fairies and a magical love potion. Alongside them, a group of amateur actors rehearse a play, adding more humour to the unfolding confusion. As magic is cast and mishaps multiply, identities dissolve, and love loses its way.
Expect laughs, love, and a little bit of mischief in this classic Shakespeare play. Perfect for a fun night out with friends or family. Don’t miss out on the magic!
