Met by moonlight

A SPRINKLING OF MAGIC WILL FALL OVER TOBACCO FACTORY THEATRES AS OUT OF CHAOS BRING AN ENCHANTING TWO-PERSON ADAPTATION OF A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM TO THE STAGE, WRITES

RESCHEDULED from July due to restrictions, the magic is finally happening at Tobacco Factory Theatres this month as a mesmerising reimagining of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream flies into the theatre.

Love is confusing – especially when there’s magic involved and then a donkey shows up!

Confused couples compete for the wrong person’s affection; competitive performers try to steal the show; combative fairies battle for supremacy - and two actors play them all.

Following the international success of their hit two-actor Macbeth, Out of Chaos are back to reimagine another Shakespeare masterpiece in their own fast, furious and fantastically funny style.

Hannah Barrie and Paul O’Mahony star in this innovative and immersive production, playing at Tobacco Factory Theatres from September 21 to 23.

Out of Chaos has been touring the UK and internationally since 2008 with shows including Unmythable, Norsesome and Macbeth. The company’s work has won awards in four countries and its two-person Macbeth toured extensively in the UK and US.

Out of Chaos is committed to making work which is exciting, challenging and generous, combining creative physical approaches and rigorous text work to investigate old stories and their enduring relevance to modern audiences.

The audience is at the heart of the company’s work and are included in the action to create truly communal events with the power to move, entertain and enthral.

Out of Chaos artistic director Paul O’Mahony says: “We’re thrilled to be opening our two-person A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Tobacco Factory Theatres. It marks the third consecutive tour that we’ve opened in Bristol - in 2019 we performed Unmythable at the Wardrobe Theatre, and earlier this year our unique telephone play Is Now A Good Time? started its tour at Tobacco Factory Theatres.

“We’ve been waiting a long time to get back on stage - and we’re so excited to share our take on this classic play. Two actors are playing all the roles and we guarantee a joyful night out for audiences.”

Don’t miss this spell-binding show with music, magic and laughter guaranteed.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is at Tobacco Factory Theatres from September 21 to 23. For more information and to book, visit tobaccofactorytheatres.com
