A Midsummer Night's Dream

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. Writers Mari Izzard and Nia Morais are sprinkling extra magic on this masterpiece with new Welsh language adaptations, creating a rich bilingual theatre experience. Welsh language dialogue will be captioned as part of the production at all performances.
