On Wednesday 3rd August St Mary’s Church in Newtown will host The Duke’s Theatre Company production of William Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. The Duke’s Theatre Company is the UK’s newest professional theatre company specialising in outstanding outdoor theatre.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is believed to have been written by Shakespeare between 1594 and 1596. The first edition of the play was printed by a man named Thomas Fisher in 1600, who was thought to have a small bookshop in London at the time. The play was entered into the Register of the Stationers' Company on 8 October 1600, when Shakespeare was only 36 years old!
