SOUTHWARK PLAYHOUSE PRESENTS A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
If you’ve ever found Shakespeare confusing, this whip-smart, laugh-out-loud adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is your gateway to the magic.
Set in a giant playroom in the early 1900s, a group of kids stage a play full of fairies, love potions, and chaos — all for their elderly relative (and some iced buns 🍩).
🎭 Shakespearean English meets modern clarity as the kids break character to explain the plot, argue over fairies vs. fights, and even rope in the audience.

The Popess - forgotten history told at The Glitch
In the shadowy basement of The Glitch, The Popess brings 13th-century Milan roaring into today.
