When a handful of humans accidentally stumble into the magical realm of the fairies, the stage is set for a night of comical confusion in the moonlit woods.

Can true love – and a little bit of magic – conjure up a happy ending before the sun rises?

The Independent:

★★★★

“One of the glories of Tudor architecture, Middle Temple Hall, was the spot where Twelfth Night was first unveiled by Shakespeare’s company at Candlemas in 1602. Now, Antic Disposition bring to the building their beguilingly lucid and engaging modern-dress production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It offers a deliciously fresh and spirited demonstration of how the Hall, at once imposing and oddly intimate, is a hospitable environment for Shakespearean performance.

“This imaginative and unpretentious staging would make an admirable introduction to the play for a child or teenager, while taking the cognoscenti back to the bounteous basics.”

BroadwayWorld:

“The Hall's rafters ring to the sound of more laughter than I suspect they've ever heard. And all that time between the two Queen Elizabeths' reigns just melts away, as language and venue coalesce to unite humanity in the joy of comedy.”
