About
Experience Shakespeare in the original language with Akershus Fortress as the backdrop!
This is Shakespeare's most popular comedy. The story follows a quartet of lovers who are lured into the forest by fairies, who trick them with a magic potion that forces them to fall in love with the first person they see. Unfortunately, it is the fairy queen herself who takes the potion, and when a donkey crosses her path, she falls in love with the creature. This hilarious comedy explores the madness of love and mocks human folly. It contains some of the finest poetry Shakespeare wrote, slapstick comedy, touching love scenes, mysticism, and theatrical magic. TNT's production has been a worldwide success, with hundreds of performances on three continents and even a new production in Mandarin. This is Shakespeare that is easy to understand and enjoy, even for an audience that doesn't have English as their first language.
Specially composed music is woven into the performance, along with choreography, poetry, and not least, comedy, led by one of Shakespeare's greatest clowns: Bottom, the hapless amateur actor.
In A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, Shakespeare explores the idea that love is random, that we are in love with ourselves rather than the person we supposedly love, that our eyes deceive us regarding a person's true worth, and that the consequences are sometimes tragic but often comic. The production is directed by Paul Stebbings and presented by TNT Theatre Britain.
