A Midsummer Night's Dream
When a love-struck teenager is forced to marry a man, rather than the women she loves, she has a few options: certain death, live a lie, move to a nunnery… or flee to a messy, neon rave in an enchanted forest!
Beyond the city walls boundaries blur, music pulsates, and love is celebrated. Inhibitions are unleashed and love potions spill into more re-couplings than an episode of Love Island.
But with the feisty fairies locked in their own conflict; the seasons are pulled into climate chaos and the young lovers’ moonlit escape from reality loses its shine.
As relationships sour and temperatures soar, Shakespeare’s romantic comedy might leave you thinking… what the Puck?!
Directed by The Rep’s Artistic Director, Joe Murphy and Deputy Artistic Director, Madeleine Kludje, step into the wild with this vibrant telling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, celebrating the beauty of love in all its forms.
Talking about what to expect from this upcoming production, Birmingham Rep Artistic Director and co-director of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Joe Murphy said:
“We felt there could be a distinctively Birmingham version of Shakespeare that would honour Shakespeare but also allow us to reflect the city back to itself, to talk about the city, to represent the city in a really dynamic populist and artistic way,”
“It’s a play about love – love for yourself, love for each other and love for the planet and the world and it felt like right now that’s an incredibly important thing to say.”
