The Fairy Show
“I had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was…”
Welcome to the discotheque outside Athens. Here fairies reign, lovers run away from their parents, and a troupe of oddballs rehearse a play. Told from the Fairies perspective, this immersive take on Midsummer pays homage to our past and introduces our future.
We encourage you to come early and explore every nook and cranny of what we have to offer. With food and drink available your experience starts as soon as you walk through the door.
