- ‘The course of true love never did run smooth.’
--
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.
Shakespeare’s most famous romantic comedy will be captured live from the Bridge Theatre in London. 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.
Directed by Nicholas Hytner, this production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will build on the success of his immersive staging of Julius Caesar (NT Live 2018). The Bridge Theatre will become a forest - a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot.

Hehehe cool !
Eyyyyy, my mans Hammed Animashaun just got the part for Loial in the upcoming wheel of time tv adaptation!
I was so delighted by this production. My other Shakespeare favorites are Much Ado About Nothing (with Catherine Tate and David Tennant) and the first Shakespeare production I ever saw which was Helen Mirren in As you like it in 1978.
Looks like a wonderful production

Masterpiece!
Please release this on the NT at home service 🐶
Oh cool, 24th of June is my birthday
I've come to the conclusion that audiences don't really get the comedy but laugh because everyone else is. I've done Shakespeare comedy and, unless you enliven it with rude gestures and stupid clowning, it's a deeply unrewarding experience. And few people laughed.
reply to this if this was funny if it wasn'tlike
