Check out this fun trailer for an upcoming run of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Noel Coward Theatre. The production is presented by Michael Grandage Company with a cast which includes David Walliams (who plays Bottom) and Sheridan Smith (as Titania) and is set to run from early September to mid November.
Magic, intrigue and an exceptionally twisty plot are the hallmarks of this romantic comedy that’s as relevant and timely today as when it was first performed during the Elizabethan era. As the Bard writes, “the course of true love never did run smooth.” Of course, that’s what makes the subject such a compelling theme for theatre.
This new production brings to the West End stage an excellent opportunity catch one of Shakespeare’s most accessible and funniest plays. I’ve actually seen Midsummer a few times and even a mediocre performance can yield plenty of LOL moments. With a comedic genius and household name like Walliams among the cast, I’m sure the Grandage offering will supply its audience with lots of laughs.
“Lord, what fools these mortals be!” Indeed.
The Michael Grandage Company’s presentation of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream runs from 7 September to 16 November 2013 at the Noel Coward Theatre, 85-88 St Martin’s Lane, WC2N 4AU. Find out more and book tickets at amidsummernightsdream.co.uk.
The production is the fourth instalment in Michael Grandage’s season of five productions at the Noel Coward Theatre and is the first of two stagings of Shakespearean work. Coming to the NCT in late November is Henry V starring Jude Law.
