“i have one piece of simple but essential advice to give you: Go! Run to see this with your young ones and less young ones: for no one could resist such a delight!…..the most magical of Shakespeare’s imbroglios.” (Telerama.France)

Based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream and featuring a cast of six male actors who interpret all the roles: the young lovers in Theseus’ court; the fairies and their Queen Titania in conflict with Oberon, King of the Elves; Puck, a funky, disjointed rapper; and the motley band of mechanicals, sub-amateur thespians cobbling together The Most Lamentable Comedy, and Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisby. With next-to-nothing the actors transport the audience to Ardenne Forest and breathe life into a tale that abounds with poetry as well as slapstick.
