World-famous Shakespearean Professor, Nick Bottom, is about to present his talk on A Midsummer Night's Dream – but there is a technical problem. Professor Bottom's laptop cannot contain the magical forces at play and the sprites in the software want to tell the story in their own words. Nick makes an ass of himself, and we are drawn into a timeless world of love, fairies, and ridiculousness in Norwich Puppet Theatre's sideways take on Shakespeare's classic play. Beautiful shadow imagery inspired by Ancient Greek art and natural images are woven together with a musical sound tapestry created especially for this production.
