I am sure Shakespeare’s wonderful comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, has been performed on many a stage over the years, but currently it’s being produced in a novel and even more magical form at Bath Abbey.
It’s a return Shakespearean visit for Antic Disposition – the company producing this joyous new promenade tale of love and magic is following its award-winning success at the same venue last summer with Romeo and Juliet.
Directed by Ben Horslen and John Risebero, recipients of the prestigious Peter Brook Award, A Midsummer Night’s Dream marks Antic Disposition’s 20th anniversary, celebrating two decades of immersive theatre in extraordinary historic locations across the UK and beyond.
Featuring a talented ensemble of nine professional actors from the Bath area, this imaginative production blends Shakespeare’s timeless humour with original music and striking visual design, conjuring the spirit and sparkle of a summer night.
I popped along to the Abbey this morning to chat to three of the cast – and local boys at that!
Tickets for A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Bath Abbey are now on sale.
