Do you still believe in fairies? More than four centuries after the events of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Titania is still here. But things have changed.

In this striking new one-woman show, Titania (Nia Gwynne, Pride, Darkest Hour, King Lear, Titus Andronicus) has fallen into our world. She sweeps the theatre. She lives off scraps. She watches. And she has taken something she cannot easily return.

Part confessional, part spell, part stand-up, Titania pieces together what happened after Shakespeare’s ending. Oberon is lost in his own dreams. Puck has slipped into the digital world. The forests have thinned, the seasons have faltered, and the fairy kingdom has all but disappeared.

And now Titania has crossed a line.

Our play moves between mischief and mourning, myth and modernity. It explores love, loss, ecology and the fragile, dangerous instinct to protect what we cannot keep.

Set within the “nutshell world” of the theatre, this is a story about survival – of magic, of stories, and of the self – in a world that no longer knows how to believe.

At once comical, tragical and poetical, the piece invites audiences into a space where the boundaries between human and fairy, past and present, tenderness and threat, begin to blur.

What does it mean to care for something – and when must you let it go?
