Tomorrow is opening night, The Lovers are coming to Chingford!

This is a show you do not want to miss...

The course of true love never did run smooth, especially when you’re a popstar. Hermia loves Lysandra, Helena loves Demetrius, Demetrius loves.. himself. This young band are at the top of their career but they are One for Sorrow when it comes to their love life. Can they get that coveted OK Magazine wedding shoot deal or will it end in Tragedy?

Hermia: Though she be but little she is fierce

Helena: O spite! O hell! I see you all are sent to set against me for your merriment!

Lysandra: The course of true love never did run smooth, who said that again?

Demetrius: He has Hermia’s father’s love, why not marry him?

Philostrate, or Phil for short: The intern, learning from Theseus and Hippolyta, making sure the paps get the right pics for the press 📸

The stage is set, the costumes are ready and the fairies? Well, they're causing their usual amount of trouble.

Titania: What angel wakes her from her flowery bed? 🌺

Oberon: remember his ‘84 hit that Top of the Pops called Spellbinding? 👀

Puck: She’ll put a girdle around the earth in forty minutes ✨
