‘An intimate tour de force… fascinatingly mesmeric… a gorgeously poetic script… utterly spellbound…’ Stratford Herald ★★★★★
Do you still believe in fairies?
More than four centuries after the events of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Titania is still here – to tell the real story.
In this striking new one-woman show, Titania (Nia Gwynne, Pride, Darkest Hour, King Lear, Titus Andronicus) has fallen into our world. She sweeps the theatre. She lives off scraps. She watches. And she has taken something she cannot easily return.
Part confessional, part spell, part stand-up, Titania pieces together what happened after Shakespeare’s ending. Oberon is lost in his own dreams. Puck has gone cyberpunk. The fairy kingdom and its forests have all but disappeared.
And now Titania has crossed a line.
Our play moves between mischief and mourning, myth and modernity. It explores love, loss, and the fragile, dangerous instinct to protect what we cannot keep.
Comical, tragical, poetical and ecological, Titania invites audiences into a space where the boundaries between human and fairy, past and present, tenderness and threat, begin to blur.
What does it mean to care for something – and when must you let it go?
‘Mesmerising…’
‘The most original and inventive piece of theatre I have ever seen…’
‘I loved the physicality of it’
‘Beautiful compelling spellbinding…’
