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. Presented by the New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth. Performed on an Elizabethan-inspired stage, a small troupe of travelling players will breathe new life into this amazingly inventive play. Dreamlike, funny and beautiful, talented actors will reinvent renaissance touring theatre for the 21st century with Shakespeare’s greatest comedy.| 25 Aug 09 to 28 Aug 09 | General Cambridge, Cambridgeshire Performance Details => Venue archive |
