BOTTOM’S DREAM Set For Edinburgh Fringe With Immersive Take On A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
The one-act musical will run at Greenside @ George Street during the 2026 festival.
The Artists’ Workshop will present BOTTOM’S DREAM, a one-act immersive musical adaptation of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from August 5–31, 2026.
The production reframes Shakespeare’s play through the perspective of Bottom, reimagining the story within a performance that combines live bluegrass music, choreography, and audience interaction. The adaptation incorporates aerial work, clowning, acrobatics, and dance while retaining Shakespeare’s original text.
The show places audiences within a stylized setting inspired by a fairy revel, using movement and music to reinterpret the source material through a multidisciplinary approach.
The Artists’ Workshop is an international collective focused on artist-driven work and contemporary adaptations. The company develops projects across Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States, often combining theatre with live music and physical performance.
