Pop-up Globe’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Rowdy, rambunctious, and joyful. Welcome back to the Pop-up Globe party!

The Pop-up Globe Shakespeare Company is delighted to present its all-new production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one of Shakespeare’s best known and most loved comedies.

This isn’t dusty old Shakespeare – this is alive, like a party.

And for the first time since 2019, The Pop-up Globe Shakespeare is delighted to be popping up in Wellington, this time at Te Papa’s Soundings Theatre for a strictly limited season.

Rowdy, rambunctious, and joyful, welcome to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Pop-up Globe style.

“It’s got everything you’ve ever wanted in a play – love triumphant, and a bit with a dog”, says David Lawrence, Artistic Director, Pop-up Globe.

And at Te Papa’s Soundings Theatre, it’s luxe! Enjoy all you know and love from Pop-up Globe - a beautiful Jacobean set and costumes; music and dance; beauty, bawdiness and smut; the lights on so everyone shares the same space, the same light; a cast some of whom you know and love, and some we can’t wait to introduce you to; and some of the most wonderful comedy ever written - this time with the luxury of a roof, comfy seats and air con!

Huge thanks to Te Papa for inviting us to Wellington, and for our fans and supporters in and around in the city. We can’t wait to delight you with this new production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The season is limited. Tickets will sell fast. Earlybird ends Monday 7 October.

Come with us. The game’s afoot…
