A Midsummer Night's Dream: Abridged on a Bridge.
FACING NORTH THEATRE returns to Castlefield Viaduct with last year's sell-out piece of pocket Shakespeare. A one-hour, open-air adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, performed against the Manchester skyline on this iconic structure.
- Booking essential
Join some of Shakespeare’s best loved characters to celebrate midsummer for A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM: ABRIDGED ON A BRIDGE, a fast paced, fun-filled farce. Watch as the year’s longest day unfolds its mysterious magic along with a host of confusion and chaos proving that “the course of true love never did run smooth”.
FACING NORTH THEATRE celebrates the creation of performances outside traditional theatre spaces, animating public areas and inviting audiences to engage with their surroundings in a different way.
