A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
A Shakespearean Comedy Brought to Life by Happily Ever After Productions
Amsterdam, The Netherlands — Happily Ever After Productions presents a bold, playful, and unapologetically queer take on William Shakespeare’s beloved A Midsummer Night’s Dream, running from 24–26 July 2026 at Het Amsterdams Theaterhuis in Amsterdam.
Step into a chaotic world where lovers, feuding fairies, and a troupe of amateur actors collide. Set in ancient Athens and a nearby enchanted forest, the play weaves together the stories of four young lovers who flee into the woods to escape a forced marriage, only to find themselves caught in a battle between the Fairy King and the Fairy Queen. As magic begins to meddle with mortal hearts, chaos — and hilarity — ensue. The result is a celebration of love in all its forms: passionate, foolish, magical, and enduring.
Puck's Warning: This play may contain glitter, fairy shenanigans, unexpected romance, and an alarming number of jokes. Side effects may include laughter, delight, and an irresistible urge to wander into the forest.
Directed by Niamh Merritt, the production brings together a vibrant international cast from Amsterdam's English-speaking theatre community. Embracing the play's queer spirit while remaining faithful to Shakespeare's wit and humanity, this fresh interpretation invites audiences into a world where anything can happen—and usually does.
