The is the first time the Globe is premiering a full-scale production for families and young people. Midsummer Mechanicals is a co-production with Splendid Productions, directed by Lucy Cuthbertson and Kerry Frampton and written by Kerry Frampton and Ben Hales.

Lucy Cuthbertson is the Co-Director of Education at Shakespeare’s Globe and was Artistic Director of Stantonbury Theatre. Lucy is a founding member of the theatre companies, Ridiculusmus and Kidbrooke Theatre Company – known as the most successful school-based theatre company in the UK, winning many awards including Fringe Report ‘Best Play’ for the world premiere of Hotel World, adapted from Ali Smith’s novel.

Kerry Frampton is the Founder and Artistic Director of Splendid Productions and has directed, adapted, and performed in their annual creative adaptations of classic texts since 2004. Ben Hales is the Associate Director of Splendid Productions. Work includes: The Epic Adventures of Robin Hood and Red Riding Hood versus the Wolf (Stantonbury Theatre), Goldilocks and the Three Musketeers (Battersea Arts Centre), Scrooge and the Seven Dwarves’ (Theatre 503).
