A Midsummer Night's Dream is about romantic love but, as Shakespeare is quick to tell us, 'The course of true love never did run smooth'. The play is a wonderfully lyrical reflection on love’s many manifestations - from cruelty and self-deception to happiness and laughter - blended with the magic of fairy enchantment.

This most popular of Shakespeare’s plays seems a perfect way to celebrate the 400th anniversary of his death on 23 April 1616.
