Midsummer Night's Dream

One of Shakespeare s most original and eloquent plays, A Midsummer Night s Dream brilliantly interweaves four contrasting groups of characters to present a many-sided view of love in all its aspects: its joys and sadness, its idealism and selfishness, its physical and spiritual elements. This performing edition was prepared for Propeller s all-male company of twelve actors, at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, and toured the West End in 2003. Propeller s markedly contemporary approach to Shakespeare brought great success for Rose Rage, their version of the Henry VI plays, whichwon the TMA/Barclays Theatre Award for the best touring production of 2001.
