|An exciting blend of theatre and local brewing is set to take place in East Yorkshire as Wold Top Brewery prepares to host a unique performance of Shakespeare's classic, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. On 7th August, the touring company Four Forty Theatre will bring their inventive twist on this beloved play to the Yorkshire Wolds, promising an evening filled with laughter, creativity, and a touch of chaos.
Four Forty Theatre's Creative Take
Four Forty Theatre, known for their engaging performances, will return to the Brew Shed at Wold Top Brewery, located at Hunmanby Grange Farm. Kate Balchin, the director of Wold Top, expressed enthusiasm about the event, saying, “We're looking forward to welcoming the fab Four Forty theatre team back to the Brew Shed for an irreverent and inventive take on the Shakespeare classic.”
This performance is not just a straightforward rendition of the play. Attendees can expect a lively and humorous experience, complete with:
Fast-paced character changes
Witty comedy
A dose of theatrical mischief
As the story unfolds, audiences will witness lovers getting tangled in misunderstandings, fairies having their own conflicts, and a group of hapless actors trying to navigate their way through the chaos of a moonlit night.
Event Details and Tickets
The performance will kick off at 7 pm, with doors opening at 5.30 pm, allowing guests to settle in and enjoy the brewery's atmosphere. Tickets are priced at £20 for adults and £17.50 for concessions, which includes a pint or a soft drink upon arrival. For those wanting to extend their visit, camping facilities are also available at the brewery.
Tickets can be purchased online, making it easy for locals and visitors alike to join in the fun. More information can be found on the Wold Top Brewery’s website or through their event booking link.
