About The Pocket Dream

When disaster strikes a David Garrick Strolling Players production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, who will step forward to save the day? Enter a motley crew of makeshift mechanicals, setting aside backstage dramas to play multiple roles and keep the show on the road. What could possibly go wrong?!

Lichfield legends Sam Rabone and Ben Thornton lead the cast of this hilarious re-imagining of Shakespeare’s most popular comedy that’ll have audiences rolling in the aisles (and the Bard turning in his grave).

Sandi Toksvig is a writer, comedian & presenter, perhaps best known as host of QI, The News Quiz and The Great British Bake Off. Elly Brewer is a stage and TV writer, whose credits include the BAFTA-winning The Dumping Ground and Tracy Beaker.

The Pocket Dream was first performed by the Nottingham Playhouse in 1991.

BSL Performance: Saturday 26th April, 2.30pm
