The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew will welcome the Australian Shakespeare Company as part of a series of outdoor theatrical performances.
The grounds of the UNESCO World Heritage Site will stage A Midsummer Night's Dream from 28 July to 29 August 2021.
Staged beneath the heritage trees at the Berberis Dell, Kew Gardens provides a genuinely appropriate setting for a summer's evening with Shakespeare.
This comedy of enchantment and transformation is brought to life within a dream-like woodland, filled with feuding fairies, eloping lovers and a hapless troupe of actors.
There's magic in the air alongside wild thyme, oxlips, nodding violets, luscious woodbine, sweet musk
roses and eglantine.
The Australian Shakespeare Company
The Australian Shakespeare Company has been staging Theatre On Kew in Kew Gardens for five summers.

Something when for when the sun sets and a raincoat in case of inclement weather is also advised.
