See below for times and locations.

This September, become immersed in the Bard on Beacon, an introduction to a new summer festival in Sidney. You can take in Shakespeare�s classic �Romeo & Juliet� or �A Midsummer Night�s Dream� in a stunning setting, outdoors in Beacon Park. With the ocean to one side, a bright sky above and culture in front of you, the experience will be one to remember.

See Shakespeare like you�ve never seen before, updated to modern dress, while still maintaining its original language. Fairies will fly, battles will be had, and tragedy and romance will capture your attention when you spend a night under the sky, entertained by Victoria Shakespeare by the Sea and Discovery Dance Theatre�s performers.

There will be five performances for you to choose from.

Friday, September 6th at 7:30PM � Shakespeare�s �A Midsummer Night�s Dream� will be performed. This is the only performance scheduled to be at the Mary Winspear Centre�s Charlie White Theatre.

Saturday, September 7th at 2 pm and 7 pm � Performances of �A Midsummer Night�s Dream� outside in Beacon Park.

Sunday, September 8th at 2 pm and 7 pm � Performances of �Romeo & Juliet� in Beacon Park.

Performances scheduled outside may be moved to the Mary Winspear Centre due to weather conditions. All performances are ticketed with proceeds supporting the Victoria Shakespeare by the Sea and Discovery Dance Theatre.

Tickets can be purchased from the Mary Winspear Box Office for $25 starting July 1st. Seating at all events is on a first come, first served basis (festival seating).
