A Midsummer Night's Dream
Mischief, magic, lovers and fools. Enjoy twice the fun this spring with two of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies at the Malcolm X Community Centre.
Set beneath a glittering, ethereal surface you will find Shakespeare’s dazzling play transformed into a macabre Edwardian fable from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. As night falls our slumbering players are swept up in an otherworldly experience, left to navigate fairy enchantments, lovers’ quarrels and patriarchal norms.
Through teasing, tyranny and trickery, familial ties become fraught and fractured; and with the early Suffrage movement creeping into the subconscious, it seems impossible to find a resolution by sunrise. This visionary and moralistic take on Shakespeare’s playful comedy – brimming with its original dramatic poetry – will entice audiences this spring at the Malcolm X Community Centre.
