Details

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. In the heart of London's West End, deep in a gutted warehouse space hidden by the facade of smart office blocks, Theatre Delicatessen is delving into the dark matter of A Midsummer Night's Dream. <a href="http://www.theatredelicatessen.co.uk">Website</a>
