What is it?

Summer’s here and that means festival season.  What better destination for Shakespeare’s lovers?  No repressed parents, no rules.  Just tents, torrential rain and freedom to be themselves.  For that, they need the help of the fairies who are always present just beyond our vision.  They blow in and excite the mortals to live their lives more fully.  They arrive singing, fighting and bursting with sexual frustration.  No one can escape their power!  Not even the crew of litter pickers.   Not even the audience.

C Company’s Meisner-trained performers give people extraordinary theatre in a lunch hour.
