A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Dive into an energetic and fresh telling of A Midsummer Night's Dream, presented by an all-female and non-binary company. Step into a world where young lovers flee the corporate city for the freedom of the forest - a place where everyone can express themselves freely… until a love potion gets into the wrong hands! With banging beats, themes of queerness and debauchery, the play explores the idea of seeking love in a relentlessly fast-paced patriarchal society and the relationship between chaos and order.

REVIEWS:
“From Hosker’s elastic face to McCauley’s dance and movement skills, these two supremely impressive actors show that they may just be the next big things in performance. […] Hopefully, we’ll be seeing Hosker and McCauley on our screens soon, too.” - To Do List
“Another standout feature of this production are the performances from Rachel Leah-Hosker and Alexandria McCauley. Making up an iconic duo, with charisma, intensity and robotic-like timing perfection, they jump between characters, time, the online universe, and real-world settings, to give us a sharply powerful duet. Working with not much more than two microphones, we are addicted to their skin-tight executions, fast paced movements, and emotional flexibility – that truly never misses a beat.” - All That Dazzles
“Rachel-Leah Hosker and Alex McCauley are brilliant performers who really know their stuff when it comes to conveying complex ideas and characters to an audience.” - LondonTheatre1
“Rachel Leah Hosker and Alex McCauley make an exceptional duo – fully immersed, sharply paced and completely in sync, moving between corporate performativity, teen innocence and raw fear in a heartbeat. They build easy audience rapport, land the comic beats with precision, and handle movement work with authority. It’s compelling, nuanced acting that leaves a real impression.” - The Spy In The Stalls
