Margarita Amarantidi
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
by William Shakespeare
Shakespeare's classic is adapted into a site-specific, musical/theatrical, ambulatory performance to be held in the area around the Acropolis, with a view to contemporary Athens. The first performance will be presented on 21 June. Audiences will be given a theatrical experience along the lines of the plot, considering the play is set on the day of the summer solstice. The production will be set in the present day, establishing a connection between Shakespeare's story and contemporary life. Artists of the new generation will come together to form a new "Shakespeare" company.
Free admission (max. 100 persons).
The audience is required to obtain free admission tickets from the Athens Festival box offices (Panepistimiou 39 and Odeon of Herodes Atticus) and show them upon entrance.
The audience will enter through the central gate of the Ancient Agora.
The audience is recommended to carry water, sunhats, and cushions for their own comfort, as well as to wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
The performance is ambulatory and is not accessible for persons in wheelchairs.
The audience will have to depart by 21:45 at the latest based on Ancient Agora regulations.
