"Pretty irresistible"

"A delightfully
queer finale"
Time Out, London

Melmoth returns to Greenwich Playhouse, following its audaciously successful run of Two Gentlemen of Verona. Expect the usual mix of mistaken identities, cross-dressing, temperamental boy bands, outrageous frocks, love, and a bit with a donkey...

Helena is in love with Hermia - but Hermia's father wants her to marry Demetrius. To confuse matters more, Lysander is in love with Demetrius.

Oberon, the King of the Faries is in a strop with Titania: he's stolen an Indian boy and is refusing to share.

Local businessman, Bottom has joined an amdram group - and they have just two days to perform their definitive version of Romeo and Juliet.

Book now for the campest, funniest, most outrageous comedy this year!
