Pocket Dream is Propeller's 60-minute version of A Midsummer Night's Dream designed for young people.

Designed to provide a contemporary and physical introduction to Shakespeare for young people, Pocket Dream encourages audiences to get involved with the show and includes a talkback session after the performance.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare’s most popular and most performed plays. Magic, romantic comedy and mystery feature in this story of four runaway lovers who encounter mischievous fairies and a troupe of actors in the forest.
