More InformationThe Whole Pack Theatre are excited to introduce our new all-female production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a wintry, festive show, touring November-January. We will be performing at Soulton Hall, a gorgeous historical venue in Wem, on 30th Nov (7pm) and 1st Dec (3pm).
The Whole Pack was founded by four female theatre professionals, frustrated by the lack of opportunities for women in our industry. Everyone in our company is female in every role, whether cast, creative or production team. We set out to create thrilling productions which give women the opportunity to bring something daring and different to traditional Shakespeare plays.
This production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a sparkling midwinter frolic, incorporating traditional Christmas songs set to haunting harmonies, to bring festive joy to the darkest of days.
