A Midsummer Night's Dream
 

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

By William Shakespeare | Directed by Angus Thorburn

Presented with PIP Theatre, August 15th – 30th

“The course of true love never did run smooth…”

On a midsummer night, four young lovers—embroiled in a love quadrangle—escape the constraints of the city and flee into the woods just outside Athens. There, the line between the real world and the fairy realm begins to blur. Throw in a pair of feuding magical monarchs, a shapeshifting hobgoblin, and a troupe of amateur actors, and they’re in for a wild, wild night.

This August, the Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble (QSE) is set to enchant audiences with a bold and vibrant production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at PIP Theatre in Milton.

Full of live music, comic confusion, and the messy, transformative power of love (with a dash of potent potion), this production of one of Shakespeare’s greatest comedies is sure to warm even the coldest of hearts this winter.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
