'A sinister and strange and satirical Dream... wonderfully freshly thought through... Paul Chahidi's stage-managing Quince delivers a wonderful parody of a physical theatre buff turned manic mime.'
DAILY EXPRESS
'Stephen Brimson Lewis and Tim Mitchell's dazzling design... Jonathan Slinger as Puck is all that Puck should be, sarcastic and mischievous with equal aplomb.'
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
'Doran [is] surely the best Shakespearean director working in Britain today... Joe Dixon and Amanda Harris give commanding, sensual performances as Oberon and Titania... Sinead Keenan's Hermia has a snug, pert superiority... Caitlin Mottram is deeply touching as Helena... a neat contrast between Oscar Pearce's stiff, establishment Demetrius and Trystan Gravelle's rebellious, romantic Lysander... the climactic production of Pyramus and Thisbe... is the funniest and most comically inventive I have seen... Jamie Ballard's touching, falsetto Flute is especially fine... a lovely production, combining hilarity with great heart and a real sense of wonder.'
DAILY TELEGRAPH
'This world class production... marvellous, comic, opulent... a sustained, snowballing romp, funnier than anything currently on show on stage, screen or television... an uncommonly watchable Puck... Jonathan Slinger [is] a major talent... terrific'
DAILY MAIL
'This is one of the two or three truly great productions of this great play I have ever seen... all the acting has a crispness, a brio, a passion, a sense of lunatic humour... Malcolm Storry is one of the great, great Bottoms... a masterly production.'
