1930s inspired reimagining of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Join Professor Theseus' Tea House Symposium for an evening of dress-up and distration at The Tea House Theatre, Vauxhall, followed by a post-show tea dance. Audience dress code: 1930s fashions. Cake and Cocktails available at The Tea House bar to get you into the 1930s mood.

It is September 1936 and the start of the new academic year at Athens College and Professor Theseus has decided to hold a teahouse symposium on A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The resident Tea Lady, Mrs Puck, keeps mixing up her tealeaves and table numbers, resulting in mix-ups and mischief. Elsewhere the chancellor is most concerned with the recent unchaperoned fraternising between the ladies and gentlemen’s colleges. As for the students: Quince is preoccupied with rehearsing the university revue; Lysander is cultivating his poetic soul; Hermia is plotting ways to escape her high society life; Demetrius is much distracted by the Tea House cocktails; and studious Helena is trying to discover her inner flapper.
