| Summary |
"In the tyrannical court of Athens, the pitiless dictator Theseus plans his wedding to Hippolyta, a prisoner of war, and young Hermia is sentenced to death by her own father. Meanwhile, in the rickety township on the hillside, amateur theatre group the Mechanicals rehearse, with all their comic rivalries. And beyond Athens, in the wild wood, dark forces are stirring ... Celebrating 400 years of Shakespeare, Russell T Davies' full-blooded adaptation has more attitude and invention than anything that's gone before. This is a production for everyone, brought to life by an award-winning cast of established stars and exciting newcomers. It's a dream that will never be forgotten."-- Provided by publisher |
