On a midsummer's night Hermia and her lover Lysander flee from Athens and Demetrius - the man Hermia's father favours as a son-in-law. Demetrius follows, pursued by Helena who loves him in spite of being spurned in favour of Hermia. On the same night Bottom and his friends leave Athens to find somewhere quiet to rehearse their play which is to be performed at the wedding feast of Duke Theseus. Drawn into the woods they enter a world of magic, mystery and wonder. A darker twist on Shakespeare's popular tale of young love and magical mischief. Keeping to the original language of the text, Word Of Mouth brings another bold interpretation of Shakespeare to the South Bank and Bankside following the huge success of the 24 hour Bardathon at The Scoop last summer.| 12 Jul 10 to 31 Jul 10 | The Rose Playhouse Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
