One of ShakespeareтАЩs most original and eloquent plays, A Midsummer NightтАЩs Dream brilliantly interweaves four contrasting groups of characters to present a many-sided view of love in all its aspects: its joys and sadness, its idealism and selfishness, its physical and spiritual elements. This performing edition was prepared for PropellerтАЩs all-male company of twelve actors, at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, and toured the West End in 2003. PropellerтАЩs markedly contemporary approach to Shakespeare brought great success for Rose Rage, their version of the Henry VI plays, whichwon the TMA/Barclays Theatre Award for the best touring production of 2001.
