I, PEASEBLOSSOM

'Something’s going to happen. I can feel it in my waters. In my fairy liquids'

The story of A Midsummer Night’s Dream as re-lived through the fevered dreams of Shakespeare’s most neglected fairy. Funny, heart-breaking and ever so slightly crazed, I, Peaseblossom is a gloriously anarchic dream of a ‘dream’, perfect for children and adults alike.

Suitable for ages 7+
