A Midsummer Night's Dream - Live at Shakespeare's Globe (2016)

Directed by Emma Rice, Ian Russell

Overview

A recording of the final night of Emma Rice’s transgressive and flamboyant production of Shakespeare’s comedy at the Globe in London. Four runaway lovers find themselves smack bang in the middle of a dispute between the King and Queen of the fairies, and, as if that wasn’t enough, a troupe of amateur actors are trying to rehearse a play. Between these unlikely groups flies Puck, armed only with a wicked sense of humour and a love potion capable of making anyone fall for the first person they set eyes upon. What could possibly go wrong?
