See behind the scenes rehearsal photos for A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, in a magical new production directed by Atri Banerjee, opening 20 June 2026.

Shakespeare’s most magical comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream finds its perfect home this summer at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, where the rustle of leaves and the open night sky become part of the production itself.

Directed by Atri Banerjee (The Glass Menagerie, Julius Caesar) and underscored with folk-infused original music composed by Maimuna Memon (The Grapes of Wrath, Portia Coughlan), the production promises a fresh and spellbinding take on one of the Bard’s most beloved plays.

The ensemble cast features Nadeem Islam as Bottom, Jenny Rainsford as Titania and Hippolyta, Olivier Huband as Oberon and Theseus, and Georgia Bruce as Puck, alongside Hiftu Quasem (Ten Percent) as Hermia, Mary Malone (Fangirls) as Helena, Terique Jarrett (Choir Boy) as Demetrius and Misia Butler as Lysander.

It is shaping up to be one of the most richly crafted productions in the Open Air Theatre’s summer season.
