I played Cobweb and was Understudy for Puck and was also the Fight Captain. I also had to learn Aerial Hammock silk during the 6 week rehearsal process.

Return to the forest this summer – a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels. The seating is wrapped around the action while the immersive tickets allow the story to be followed on foot."I can't remember enjoying a Dream more"

The Standard ★★★★★

"Fun, funny, beautiful, revelatory and, yes, sexy"

The Telegraph ★★★★★

"So joyful the whole audience seems drunk on delight"
