National Theatre at Home – A Midsummer Night’s Dream
National Theatre at Home – A Midsummer Night’s Dream
by William Shakespeare
‘The course of true love never did run smooth.’
Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), Oliver Chris (Green Wing, NT Live: Young Marx), David Moorst (NT Live: Allelujah!) and Hammed Animashaun (The Barber Shop Chronicles) lead the cast as Titania, Oberon, Puck and Bottom in Shakespeare’s most famous romantic comedy.
A feuding fairy King and Queen of the forest cross paths with four runaway lovers and a troupe of actors trying to rehearse a play. As their dispute grows, the magical royal couple meddle with mortal lives leading to love triangles, mistaken identities and transformations… with hilarious, but dark consequences.
This immersive production, directed by Nicholas Hytner, saw the Bridge Theatre in London become a forest – a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot, available to watch on the National Theatre’s YouTube channel from Thursday 25th June.
