The Barden Party – A Midsummer Night’s Dream
AT THE BOATHOUSE! One night only!
Come and be a part of the live theatre phenomenon taking New Zealand by storm!
The Barden Party is Shakespeare like you’ve never seen it before (their name comes from The Bard + Garden Party), and they have quickly established themselves as a must-see event, with bookings in private gardens and public venues right across the country this summer. The show is so cleverly versatile, they can perform it in any space, indoors or out. Come visit Nelson gorgeous waterfront venue, The Boathouse and see some hilarious Shakespeare with life music!
Unlike any other Shakespeare performance you may have seen in the past, The Barden Party offers a truly authentic vintage theater experience with a modern twist – operating as a traveling troupe just as was done hundreds of years ago. They carry all of their props and set with them, and are able to adapt their performance to suit a wide variety of spaces, giving them the freedom to transform backyards, gardens, and now The Boathouse into a joyful world of lords and ladies and fairy magic, with mischief and laughter aplenty.
Directed by Laura Irish and Musical Direction by Jake Byrom Robinson, this family-friendly jukebox musical extravaganza makes Shakespeare’s language accessible for audiences of all ages and experience levels. With lively musical outbursts and laugh-out-loud moments woven throughout the story, this lighthearted comedy is the perfect chance for the uninitiated to dip their toes into the world of Shakespeare.
The troupe has been completely booked out for private functions every weekend this summer, so this is a special opportunity to witness this unforgettable performance before they take their show to the United States in 2022.
