Description

One of Shakespeare’s most original and eloquent plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream brilliantly interweaves four contrasting groups of characters to present a many-sided view of love in all its aspects: its joys and sadness, its idealism and selfishness, its physical and spiritual elements. This performing edition was prepared for Propeller’s all-male company of twelve actors, at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, and toured the West End in 2003. Propeller’s markedly contemporary approach to Shakespeare brought great success for Rose Rage, their version of the Henry VI plays, whichwon the TMA/Barclays Theatre Award for the best touring production of 2001.

I disliked this enough to forget to mark it as read. This one really was too annoying with its depiction of "love" and women that I was just having a terrible time pushing through very questionable thought processes and dialogues. It's disappointing since I thought this could be a new favorite (given my love for fairies/fae folk since childhood)
