🎭 East London Shakespeare Festival Returns to Langthorne Park!

The Toy Library is delighted to welcome the East London Shakespeare Festival back to the Langthorne Park amphitheatre this summer with their magical production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Friday 21st August, 7.30pm. Run time approx. 2 hours.

Doors open at 6.30pm.

Family friendly and suitable for all ages!

Bursting with mischief, chaos, romance and magic, this joyful, family-friendly outdoor production reimagines Shakespeare’s hilarious comedy with a bold splash of contemporary flair. Escape into the enchanted forest alongside Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius as they get more than they bargained for, when a vibrant cast of magical woodland fairies take matters into their own hands.

With ELSF’s signature high-energy numbers, slapstick comedy, and audience participation, this is Shakespeare for everyone!

Gates open an hour before the show, so bring a picnic and soak up the atmosphere. The Toy Library café will be open throughout for ice creams, hot and cold drinks and cake!
