Hamlet, Macbeth and A Midsummer Night's Dream
For Teachers

Hamlet

Michael Boyd, directing this production with Toby Stephens in the title role, sees Hamlet as a dangerous play - a thriller with the same kind of gothic allure as Batman.

Macbeth

This production, directed by Dominic Cooke and with Greg Hicks in the title role, aims to help us identify with Macbeth by presenting him as a real human being.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Gregory Doran's production sets magical fairies against the real world of the court in a play about love and danger.
