This age-appropriate inspired performance of the classic Shakespeare novel is not to be missed, cleverly incorporating
puppets and bringing the story into the 21st century in order to teach children about this classic tale from the bard himself.

Professor Nick Bottom, the world-famous Shakespeare scholar, is about to present his talk on A Midsummer Night’s Dream but there is a technical problem. Professor Bottom’s laptop cannot contain the magical forces at play and the sprites in the software want to tell the story in their
own words. Nick makes an ass of himself, and we are taken on a dreamy adventure full of love, fairies, and ridiculousness in Norwich Puppet Theatre’s sideways take on Shakespeare’s classic play with beautifully carved puppets, original music, and lots of shadows.

Norwich Puppet Theatre is a professional company based in Norwich, whose aim is to tell stories to children using the art of puppetry.
