A Midsummer Night's Dream

It’s the middle of summer, and everyone is on heat.

The Duke of Athens is marrying the Queen of the Amazons, though she doesn’t seem thrilled about it. Hermia loves Lysander, and he loves her back; but Hermia’s dad says that if she doesn’t marry this other guy, Demetrius, he will literally kill her. Literally.

Meanwhile Hermia’s best friend Helena loves Demetrius, but he doesn’t love her, though they totally hooked up once. The King and Queen of the Fairies are having a massive fight over some Indian boy, and they are essentially causing climate change. Oh, and a bunch of aspiring actors are trying to put on a play.

After the success of their debut production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, Fingerless Theatre is delighted to be doing a Shakespearean double-bill, with A Midsummer Night’s Dream on Mon 25th of Feb, and The Tempest on Friday 24th of May.

Directed by Alex Kendall Robson, the production will also feature original music composed by Antonio Fernandez.
