A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM


Peter Doran directs an outstanding cast ofthirteen - young lovers, warring fairies andmischievous mechanicals – who meet in a moonlitforest in this magical adaptation of Shakespeare’sclassic comedy. Set on the Home Front during the Second WorldWar, this new production tells of a very British wayof life, of an old class structure weakened by thedestructiveness of war. Yet despite the conflict,there is an underlying feeling of adventure -romance is in the air and people live life for themoment, not knowing what tomorrow may hold.

In these times, our dreams are more vivid, thedesire to love and be loved greater, and the

longing for a better world immense.

An endlessly inventive production laced withwicked wit, genuine enchantment and a symbolicescape from reality.Un o’r hoff ddramâu Shakespearaidd gangwmni gwych
