Forbidden
Our Black Sheep Actors will be performing an original adaptation of William Shakespeare’s play ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. The piece is a queering of the original play, taking Shakespeare’s characters and concepts, shifting the perspective and presenting a new take on the comedy.
Queer AF (Arts Festival) are supporting the production. The piece will inspire audiences to see the traditional play with fresh eyes. Our actors have brought to the project their passions and lived experience to ensure the piece is authentic and relevant.

A queering of William Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Nights Dream’.
In a City where the views of it’s people are extreme,
Black and White,
Wrong and Right,
Shame and Blame,
For anything that doesn’t conform,
To the norm,
or expectation.
No sense of elation or celebration
for free love.
Lovers Hermia and Lil flee from the City and find safety in Club Forbidden, a place of freedom, acceptance and magic in abundance. They are welcomed by Queen Titania and her flock of fairies as they enter a maze of madness and mayhem.
Love, laughter, lesbians, glitter, shots, dancing, music, mischief, magic, feathers, fairies and much more! What more do you want in a show.
Come to Forbidden a place where all your dreams can come true.
Tickets: £15.00
Concession: £12.00
We look forward to seeing you there.
