Pennsylvania Castle Estate is hosting an outdoor performance of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, staged by the award-winning outdoor theatre company, Illyria. The performance will take place on Tuesday 19th July in the grounds of Pennsylvania Castle and will raise funds for the Portland arts organisation, b-side. This immersive experience will allow viewers to witness the magic of A Midsummer Night in this breath-taking setting on the Isle of Portland.
Hannah Marklew, Rental and Events Coordinator, Pennsylvania Castle Estate comments: “The Castle grounds are the perfect backdrop for a performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and we’re so excited to watch the magic and mischief unfold. It’s important for us to support local organisations such as b-side, we’re very proud to see the wonderful art that comes out of Portland, that celebrates Portland.”
Rocca Holly-Nambi, Director, b-side comments: “We can’t wait to welcome guests to this mid-summer magical evening at the breath-taking Pennsylvania Castle. This will be an incredible evening out, with all proceeds going to b-side’s community cultural activities, ensuring we can produce creative moments on Portland all year round!”
Five couples – three human, one fairy, and one mythical – find their relationships tested, probed and indecently exposed when a troupe of amateur theatricals bumble into the forest to rehearse a play. Shakespeare’s masterpiece explores every colour in the spectrum of love. Add to this confusion, magic and mischief – and you have the perfect comedy for a summer evening.
