Join us and the character Puck in the mysterious forest of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, for a story of transformation and a dramatic journey from dusk to dawn.

As storm clouds gather on the horizon, our tale takes us to the sprites Moth, Peaseblossom, Cobweb and Mustardseed –
but will we make it out of the dark?

Theatre, music and groundbreaking technology combine in an extraordinary exploration into the future of live performance. Whether you want to relive your experience of the interactive shows or are discovering Dream for the first time, the forest awaits.

Across 12 live shows, 65,000 audience members from all around the world experienced real-time motion capture of the cast into an immersive digital world combined with a groundbreaking interactive score by our world-leading Digital team. Now, this complete recording of one of our live shows is coming back to your screens – join us and experience the magic.

Dream is brought to you by the Audience of the Future Consortium, led by the Royal Shakespeare Company, built with producing partners the Philharmonia Orchestra, Manchester International Festival and Marshmallow Laser Feast. The project is funded within the Audience of the Future programme by UK Research and Innovation through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund.
