A Dash Arts Production
Presented at Royal Shakespeare Company’s
“The Complete Works Festival”
UK/India
by William Shakespeare, directed by Tim Supple
A theatrical event like no other, Tim Supple’s acclaimed production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is an incredible spectacle combining the skills of actors, dancers, musicians, martial arts experts and street acrobats from across India and Sri Lanka.
Two years in the making, this visually ravishing production, using live music and song, is a playful and sensuous reimagining of Shakespeare’s best loved comedy.
It caused a sensation in India and a sell-out season at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon followed. Now audiences in Adelaide can experience this breathtaking production performed in English as well as Tamil, Malayalam, Sinhalese, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi and Sanskrit, drawing on theatre traditions both ancient and modern.
A magical, unforgettable “must see”.
Presented with the support of the British Council. Originally commissioned and presented by the British Council
Presented in association with Arts Projects Australia by arrangement with Roger Chapman, Matthew Byam and Act Productions.
