A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 3 Scene 2 | 'Sighs of Love' with Gwendoline Christie | Bridge Theatre

Mischievous meddling fairy Puck (David Moorst) and queen Titania (Gwendoline Christie) plot who to spike with their magic love potion, in Act 3 Scene 2 of the Bridge Theatre's immersive production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
In this 2019 production, director Nick Hytner switched the roles of Oberon and Titania, which meant that the fairy king fell for Bottom - and had the greatest night of his life - while the queen ran the show.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is streaming from 7pm UK time on Thursday 25 June, until 7pm UK time on Thursday 2 July 2020.

Hopefully one day y'all would one day release all your performances on dvd and digital.

I cannot express what a joy it has been to be part of the audience in this way again. Having a suppressed immune system means I miss out on this even when the country isn't in lockdown! So, this has been such a treat for me, and many others in my situation I would imagine. I wonder whether this is something you might consider offering audience members with long term health conditions in the future who's health would otherwise be compromised by sitting in an auditorium full of people. Thank you again, I can't wait for this production -N

[@telectronix1368]

At least you'll get to watch the performance in a few days time.

It's never the same as being there. That's the difference between theater and cinema. It's meant to be for real, one night only.

What a dream!!

[@alexworld1992]

What an exit from Robin! Hope he didn't hit Freddie Crugar too violently in the head ... Love the dynamics of this version and the juxtaposition of Titania being the trickster over Oberon. Love the childish and bratty puck interpretation which contrast greatly to the memorable Globe version! Is the full production next week's release? (Without Wanting to spoil anything)

[@dieke8978]

I also watched the globe production! Just like you said, the interpretation of Puck between these two productions is vastly different, but I love both of them.

[@Mjao519]

Magic!
