More information about A Midsummer Night's Dream
A Midsummer Night's Dream in London was highly praised during its run at the Bridge Theatre in 2019. As the New York Times said, "Nicholas Hytner's production at Bridge Theatre in London finds something fresh in a work that sometimes feels as if it's being done out of duty."
This year's enchanting staging is brought to the Bridge Theatre stage by the same expert creative team as the 2019 staging, including design by Bunny Christie (Tammy Faye), costume design by Christina Cunningham (A Minute Too Late), lighting design by Bruno Poet (Richard II), and sound design by Paul Arditti (Stranger Things: The First Shadow).
A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play written in 1595 or 1596. Inspiration for this play was drawn from numerous sources, including Chaucer's The Knight's Tale, English folklore's fairies, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and more. This powerful play has been staged countless times and has also been adapted into many other creative works, including musicals, films, radio, and paintings.
