Shakespeare in virtual reality: is this the future of theatre?

Based on the Shakespearian classic A Midsummer Night’s Dream, performers will bring this new play to life in a digital midsummer forest. Through virtual reality (VR), audience members at home will be able to interact with actors and guide the story in real-time.

In collaboration with Manchester International Festival and thanks to funding from big tech names including Innovate UK and Fortnite creators Epic Games, Dream marks the latest efforts from the theatre community to give us the live performances experience we miss so much.
