One of The Bridge‘s biggest hits, the immersive A Midsummer Night’s Dream returns this summer with performances from 31 May to 23 August 2025. It has also been announced that Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods will open at The Bridge this Christmas.
The cast will include JJ Feild (Little Disasters, Austenland, Captain America) as Oberon/Theseus, Susannah Fielding (The Merchant of Venice, This Time with Alan Partridge) as Titania/Hippolyta, Emmanuel Akwafo (For the Black Boys…, Sex Education) as Bottom and David Moorst (Killing Eve, Blitz) who returns to the role of Puck/Philostrate. Further casting is to be announced.
Nicholas Hytner directs with award winning production design by Bunny Christie (Evening Standard Theatre award), costumes by Christina Cunningham, lighting by Bruno Poet, sound design by Paul Arditti, music by Grant Olding and movement by Arlene Phillips. James Cousins is associate director and associate movement director.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream was first produced at The Bridge in 2019. Its immersive format — which allows 400 people to stand close to the action with 670 seats wrapped around — enabled over 100,000 people to see the production six years ago. It was filmed by NTLive.
Standing tickets are from £35.
