Am dram - Midsummer Night's Dream
0000 hrs

The Little Longueville Theatre Company are putting on Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream from the 7th to the 11th June. This is one of the greatest playwright's most light hearted plays and a must for all those who love theatre. With a mischievous Puck, warring fairies, love struck mortals, and a hammy Bottom this is a wonderful play and probably my favourite. I am playing Flute the bellows mender. Tickets are £6.50 and are available on www.lltc.co.uk. Alternatively, they can be bought on the door. The venue is the fabulous Chrysalis theatre on Japonica Lane near Willen Park South.
