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: One Man, Two Guvnors), 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 saw the

Bridge Theatre become a forest - a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and

moonlight revels, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot.
