A Midsummer Night's Dream
Opens: 05/07/2012 Closes: 04/08/2012
Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester
Regional rivalries are dispelled in this cross-country collaboration between the Royal Exchange and London's Filter Theatre. The pairing, known for its previous edgy interpretations of classics, such as a very contemporary Chekhov in 2010, sees the Lyric Hammersmith's artistic director Sean Holmes again at the helm. Expect the unexpected from this musical rendition.
