Enter a world where the veil between the everyday and the extraordinary grows joyfully thin.
As night deepens on the eve of a royal wedding, a company of amateur performers prepares a play for the big day and invite you to step into their story.
Follow a group of giddy lovers chasing desire and connection through a moonlit forest as they collide with playful spirits in a fairy realm where anything is possible. Hearts open, spells go awry, and surprising transformations unfold in a shared night of mischief that fills the Globe with chaos and wonder.
By dawn, everyone has been changed. Come and be part of the magic.
