A Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Gregory Doran
A feast of magic, music, humour and spectacle, A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's best-loved comedies. This production revives Gregory Doran's hugely popular and critically acclaimed show from the 2005 Comedies Season.
Sweet 'Dreams' are made of this. Peter De Jersey and Andrea Harris are an imperious Oberon and Titania.'
Financial Times
'This is the kind of production the RSC was created for nearly 50 years ago: driven by intelligence, deep feeling and a wild and sweet sense of humour; clearly and beautifully spoken, designed with daring imagination and directed with impeccable sensitivity for character, storytelling, the music of poetic speech and sense of magic. Exquisitely funny'
Sunday Times
'A magical delight...a bewitching blend of the dark and the lovely'
Times
'Doran's greatest achievement seems fresh and magical all over again. The mechanicals are a delightful bunch of bickering Brummie artisans whose performance of Pyramus and Thisbe is one of the most achingly funny and inventive I have ever seen'
