A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Lazarus Theatre Company – www.lazarustheatrecompany.
27 November – 15 December
A Spell-binding and Striking Re-Imagining
Lazarus Theatre Company returns to the Blue Elephant to herald in Christmas with a touch of magic and enchantment.
One of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is transported to a frozen forest by a company whose work is “a superb lesson in how to adapt an old classic for a contemporary audience” (Spoonfed).
High in the mountains, four young lovers find themselves far from home, following romance at all costs. With the fairies at hand to weave their spells, nothing is quite as it seems until confusion gives way to happy-ever-after.
“If you know anyone unsure of Shakespeare then take them to see this and have them fall in love!”
