A Midsummer Night's Dream

Details

“Ay me! for aught that ever I could read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love
never did run smooth.”
Act 1, Scene 1

Shakespeare’s great comedy is magically retold in a thrilling production which moves from a modern, inner city school detention room to the fantastical world of princes and lovers, forests and fairies.

Launched as part of the 2012 Almeida Festival in London before delighting audiences at the Edinburgh Festival, this fast-paced, beautiful and inventive production will sweep audiences into a world full of passion and enchantment.

Custom/Practice has received considerable acclaim for its arresting productions of classical work, in particular its recent Shakespeare productions: As You Like It (2012) and Macbeth (2011). These were praised for their clarity of storytelling and verse-speaking as well as their faithfulness to the original text.

If you – like a group of reluctant teens – think that you loathe Shakespeare head to this fantastic show.

— Three Weeks ★★★★

Custom/Practice set themselves apart with this energetic and imaginative rendition of Shakespeare’s forest fantasy.
