Community Play for 2024: ‘A Midsummer Lyme’s Dream’ by Andrew Rattenbury. 

Following on from previous award-winning community productions ‘Monmouth: A West Country Rebellion’, ‘Are you Going to the Marine?’ and ‘Lyme and the Sea’ Lyme Regis born-and-bred screenwriter and Marine patron, Andrew Rattenbury, has done it again. He has adapted Shakespeare’s play ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ to celebrate our fantastic community.

The play was directed by Tessa Morton and Nicca Kathrens who ran weekly rehearsals to bring the show to life with Musical Director Chris Gill, alongside many organisers, singers, musicians and more.
