A Midsummer Night's Dream

Overview of the production

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is now available to stream on NT at Home. To watch, you can either subscribe to NT at Home, or simply rent the production

The theatre becomes the forest – a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels. The seating is wrapped around the action while the immersive tickets allow the story to be followed on foot.

Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), Oliver Chris (Green Wing), David Moorst (Allelujah!) and Hammed Animashaun (The Festival) lead the cast as Titania, Oberon, Puck and Bottom. The production also re-unites the team responsible for last year’s smash-hit Julius Caesar. Direction is by Nicholas Hytner, design by Bunny Christie, costume by Christina Cunningham, lighting by Bruno Poet and sound by Paul Arditti. Joining the team will be composer Grant Olding, movement director Arlene Phillips, and associate movement director James Cousins.

"This is the most accomplished Shakespeare production of [Nicholas Hytner's] I’ve ever encountered"

The Daily Telegraph ★★★★★

"Could be the most joyously affirmative Shakespeare production I’ve ever seen"

The Metro ★★★★★

"A warm, exuberant celebration of the transforming power of love."

Financial Times ★★★★

"Five stars might not be enough"
