Ruth Leon recommendsA Midsummer Night’s Dream – Shakespeare’s Globe
What is midsummer without a ‘Dream’? This colourful, chaotic and ‘utterly joyous’ production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream was praised by critics and audiences alike at its premiere in 2019 and all subsequent revivals. This riotous fiesta-style production is complete with piñatas, streamers, glitter and a cacophony of brass.
Four love-drunk teens, escaped from the confines of an oppressive regime, caught in a dispute of increasingly magical proportions. A posse of wannabe actors, determined to put on a play against the odds. The Fairy Queen and King at war, and one wild spirit hell-bent on causing as much havoc as possible. What could possibly go wrong?
This joyful explosion of vivid chaos is directed by Sean Holmes with music from Jim Fortune, performed by members of the Hackney Colliery Band.
