The production, directed by Atri Banerjee, will run at the theatre from the 20th June until the 18th July.
Full casting has now been announced for Atri Banerjee’s new production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which will officially open at the theatre on the 29th June.
The production is set to star: Issam Al Ghussain (Flute); Rachel Barnes (Moth); Georgia Bruce (Puck); Misia Butler (Lysander); Neil D’Souza (Snug & Egeus); Amelia Gabriel (Mustardseed); Harriet Gordon-Anderson (Quince); Rori Hawthorn (Cobweb); Olivier Huband (Oberon & Theseus); Nadeem Islam (Bottom); Damien James (Peaseblossom); Terique Jarrett (Demetrius); Evie Jones (Snout); Mary Malone (Helena); Hiftu Quasem (Hermia); Jenny Rainsford (Titania & Hippolyta) and Dumile Sibanda (Starveling).
When a bitter dispute erupts in the fairy kingdom, four fleeing lovers and an unsuspecting weaver called Bottom find themselves adrift in an enchanted forest, down a path of chaos and delusion conjured by the mischievous Puck.
With desire turned upside down, hearts are won, lost, and won again in a realm of dreams where worlds intertwine and the impossible becomes a distant memory.
Atri Banerjee said: “I’m so pleased to be directing Shakespeare’s beloved comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. There is no play better suited to the Park’s surroundings, and it feels like a special privilege to be making this version for 2026: the responsibility to audiences feels immense and thrilling. “This green plot shall be our stage”, says Quince, and I can’t wait to work with this extraordinary group of actors and creatives to make art, make music, and collectively dream this summer.”
Banerjee is joined on the creative team by Rachel Barnes (Musical Director); Naomi Dawson (Set Designer); Yarit Dor (Intimacy & Fight Director); Amara Heyland (Associate Director); Anjali Mehra (Movement Director); Maimuna Memon (Composer & Musical Arrangements); Tomás Palmer (Costume Designer); Max Pappenheim (Sound Designer); Joshua Pharo (Lighting Designer); Jacob Sparrow (Casting Director); Emma Woodvine (Voice & Text Director).
