A MODERN, fast and funny version of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is being staged at Cartmel Priory.

Running from Wednesday until Saturday, September 6-9 (7.30pm), it promises to be a magical production of one of the Bard's finest works, performed by the Priory's own community theatre group, the Marshal's Theatre Company, which was set-up in April, under the professional guidance of director Sandra Williams.

Specially adapted for the Priory with a 40-strong cast and crew, tickets for the production are available from the Priory desk or email ahpriory@gmail.com.
