Door Ajar Theatre

‘The course of true love never did run smooth’ – the daughter of Helena and Demetrius discovers there was never a truer word spoken in this actor-musician follow up to Shakespeare's popular comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Fourteen years have passed since the fateful night Thisbe’s parents, Helena and Demetrius, were lost in the woods. The only thing they remember is waking up completely in love with one another. But as their love becomes obsession, where does this leave their neglected and confused daughter, Thisbe?

Cue the prankster Puck and his fairy flunkeys who love nothing more than to meddle with the mortal world. With the promise of solving all of her problems, they lure Thisbe into the woods where it isn’t long before she finds herself embroiled in their roguery.

Intoxicated with magic and adventure, has Thisbe gone too far this time? Can she stop her family falling apart? And does she even want to?

BSL interpreted and with an original score, this play is full of playful wit and boisterous theatricality.

Suitable for ages 12 and over.
