Splendid Productions’ Midsummer Mechanicals script (paperback)
On a beautiful summer’s evening one year ago, a troupe of craftspeople-turned-actors, led by Nick Bottom, staged their first ever play. It was so bold, so brilliant and so chaotic that it went down in theatre history.
Now these Mechanicals are back to premiere their latest tragical, magical masterpiece, and with half an hour to go until curtain-up, everything is in hand. The actors are (almost) assembled, the play is (nearly) rehearsed, and the audience (that’s you!) are ready. What could possibly go wrong?
We present a new comedy based on William Shakespeare’s classic characters from ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ by , as the amateur actors (known as ‘Mechanicals’) attempt to bring the house down once again.
Midsummer Mechanicals was created as a co-production between Splendid Productions and Shakespeare’s Globe, and was nominated for ‘Best Family Show’ at the 2023 Olivier Awards.
