A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Bridge Theatre

Step back into the magical world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream as the Bridge Theatre’s critically acclaimed production returns for a limited summer run. Directed by Nicholas Hytner, this immersive version of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy transports audiences into a dream world of fairies, moonlit revels, and enchanted forests.

Featuring stunning design by Bunny Christie, costumes by Christina Cunningham, and choreography by Arlene Phillips, A Midsummer Night’s Dream offers a fresh, immersive take on a timeless classic.

Matthew Bourne’s The Midnight Bell 

The Midnight Bell takes you into the fog-bound streets of 1930s London, where lonely hearts and lovelorn souls meet at the tavern. Inspired by Patrick Hamilton’s iconic novels, this evocative dance theatre production by Matthew Bourne explores themes of longing, betrayal, and redemption. With choreography by Bourne and a talented cast of New Adventures performers, The Midnight Bell is a dark, captivating exploration of the human condition set against the backdrop of London’s working-class districts.

STOREHOUSE – Immersive Theatre Event in Deptford

STOREHOUSE is one of the most artistically ambitious and large-scale immersive theatre events ever staged in the UK. Set in a vast disused warehouse in Deptford, the experience takes audiences on a journey through a sprawling archive of human stories, messages, and memories since the dawn of the internet. As narratives begin to compete and the remaining founder fades, the stakes rise in this futuristic exploration of humanity’s digital legacy. STOREHOUSE is a fascinating look at what happens when the digital world and real-world emotions collide.
