Comedy Theatre Panton Street, London

Feuding lovers and warring fairies play out their love entanglements on one very magical night.

This mixture of comedy and romantic adventure, combined with some of his most enduring characters has ensured that A Midsummer Night's Dream remains one of Shakespeare's most popular and beloved plays.

Edward Hall (who recently directed Sean Bean in Macbeth) and the remarkable company Propeller whose 2001 Watermill production of Rose Rage: The Henry VI Plays in two parts won the national Barclays TMA award for Best Touring Production, are now back on the road with this extraordinary all male, magical and bright new production.

Acknowledged as one of the finest directors in the country of Shakespeare's plays, Edward Hall's high voltage and pacy productions are potent experiences which exploit the raw power of text. Described as 'exultantly theatrical' and 'explosive' his interpretations offer a vivid, fresh and visceral perspective on some of our most well known plays.
