A Midsummer Night’s Dream “The Three Inch Fools are back with Shakespeare’s most iconic comedy. It’s Midsummer’s eve and deep in an enchanted forest mischief is stirring. The Fairy King and Queen are feuding, four runaway lovers are tying themselves in knots, and a troupe of quite appalling actors are preparing a theatrical extravaganza destined to impress. With shapeshifting trouble-maker Puck at the helm, the course of true love never did run smooth…Three Inch Fools are an innovative touring company acclaimed for staging bold, vibrant productions in a fast-paced and musically driven style. Having built a reputation as one of the UK’s best-loved open-air touring theatre companies, 2025 sees the Fools celebrate their 10th anniversary with their take on arguably Shakespeare’s most iconic comedy.” 15 August: Sports & Social Club, WINTERBORNE STICKLAND, DT11 0NT. 7pm. £16 / £8. 01258 881329 / artsreach.co.uk .
