Night time in the forest. An enthralled audience watch actors on a wooden stage playing instruments. The scene is lit by festoon lights.

The Three Inch Fools

It’s Midsummer’s Eve and deep in an enchanted forest mischief is stirring. 

The Fairy King and Queen are feuding, four runaway lovers are tying themselves in knots, and a troupe of quite appalling actors are preparing a theatrical extravaganza destined to impress. With shapeshifting trouble-maker Puck at the helm, the course of true love never did run smooth.

★★★★★ – “So entertaining…laugh-out-loud funny”

★★★★★ – “One of the best Shakespeare plays I’ll ever watch” – The Bristol Post

★★★★★ – “The ultimate British theatrical experience” – Hastings Independent Press

★★★★★ – “Riotously fun. Hugely enjoyable”
