A Midsummer Night's Dream
The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm Road, London 8 March to 21 August 2007
By William Shakespeare
A theatrical event like no other, this incredible spectacle combines the
astonishing skills of actors, dancers, martial arts experts, musicians and
street acrobats from across India and Sri Lanka.
Two years in the making, the show (commissioned and presented by the British
Council) caused a sensation in India where it played Delhi, Mumbai (Bombay),
Chennai (Madras) and Kolkata (Calcutta). A sell-out run at the RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon
followed, and now finally in 2007, London audiences can experience this breathtaking
production prior to a UK and World Tour.
The Roundhouse plays host to Tim Supple's acclaimed Indian
production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream for a strictly limited
6-week season from 8 March 2007. This is the first play to be performed in
this landmark venue since its magnificent redevelopment.
"Stunningly beautiful, sexy, and delightfully funny" The Independent
"This is the kind of dream that leaves you rubbing your eyes and wishing
that you never had to wake up" The Times
