NT Live: A Midsummer Night's Dream (12A)

,Barbican Cinema 1
Gwendoline Christie as Titania

Shakespeare’s most famous romantic comedy starring Gwendoline Christie as Titania and Oliver Chris as Oberon. 

A feuding fairy King and Queen of the forest cross paths with four runaway lovers and a troupe of actors trying to rehearse a play. As their dispute grows, the magical royal couple meddle with mortal lives leading to love triangles, mistaken identities and transformations… with hilarious, but dark consequences. 
 
Directed by Nicholas Hytner, this production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will build on the success of his immersive staging of Julius Caesar (NT Live 2018). The Bridge Theatre will become a forest – a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot.
