Meet Bottom from A Midsummer Night's Dream in Berkeley!

Berkeley

Dates: 05/09/2026

Venue: Dr Jenner's House and Museum

Join us at The Dr Jenner’s House and Gardens Museum on Saturday 5th September to meet Bottom from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream!
Bottom will be at Dr Jenner’s House for a very special as this loveable character tells you his story in words and live music.
Nicholas Bottom has always dreamt of being a performer. At Nick’s insistence, when just eleven years old, his father grudgingly bought Nicholas an old keyboard, and he taught himself the fundamentals before attending lessons with a purple-haired grandmother down the lane (you know, the one with the Afghan hound called Baboushka). Always in the background and spurned by his peers, who considered him rather ridiculous and certainly no scholar, Nick put his desire to take to the stage on hold for many years…until now.
Join Bottom on his journey as he narrates how it all began, muses upon the environment, falls into a daydream, and finally brings his masterpiece, hidden for all these years in the bole of an oak tree in the forest, to fruition at last.
Throughout, Bottom will play you his favourite pieces of live piano music, some of which he must admit to having written himself, then hidden from public view. Though, as we all know, the fairies at the bottom of the garden know all, and might just have the last say…
