The award-winning Michelle Terry (Tribes) returns to Shakespeare's Globe this summer to star as Titania in the Bard's evergreen forest fantasy of knavish sprites and mismatched lovers. Hermia (Olivia Ross) loves Lysander and Helena loves Demetrius - but Demetrius is supposed to be marrying Hermia. When the Duke of Athens tries to enforce the marriage, the lovers take refuge in the woods and wander into the midst of a dispute between Oberon and Tatania, the King and Queen of the Fairies. Showing just how the course of true love rarely does run smooth, the incredibly inventive A Midsummer's Night Dream - one of Shakespeare's most popular and widely performed works - is both dramatic and hilarious in equal measures. Directed by Dominic Droomgoole, this production will employ Renaissance costumes and staging.
About Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
This replica of the Shakespeare's 16th century theatre, reconstructed just 200 yards from its original site, is the brainchild of American actor and director Sam Wanamaker. Built in wood and thatch, using techniques from 400 years ago, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre opened in 1996. More about Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
