Description A Midsummer Night's Dream is a magical tale of gods and fairies, mischief and misadventure, and the confusing path of true love. Full of action, humour and drama, Francois Klaus's lavish production is based on Shakespeare's play and includes the famous incidental music of Mendelssohn.

Oberon, the King of the Fairies, seeks revenge on Queen Titania following a quarrel - but the mischevous Puck is not one to trust with a love potion...from the court of Theseus to the fairie's magic realm, A Midsummer Night's Dream is a delightful journey into a mythical world.
