Globe Touring Company, London

Director: Raz Shaw
Stage design: Hannah Clark
Music: Alex Silverman

What better way to open the 20th anniversary celebrations of the
Globe Theatre in Neuss than with a guest performance of our London counterpart, performing an enchanting Midsummer Night's Dream?

Eight brilliant young actors and actresses recreate a moving renaissance theatre in the atmosphere of the roaring and golden 20s. Hermia loves Lysander and Helena loves Demetrius but Hermia is being forced into marriage with Demetrius.
The two lovers flee to the forest and take part in a fantastical adventure among fairies and crazed amateur actors and Puck, who mixes everything up with his love potion.

Lots of music and plenty of slapstick in Shakespeare's most famous comedy.

Performance time: 2 hours with a 30 minute interval

Price: A
