A Midsummer Night's Dream - Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith

[101handbags]

I don't really post much in Culture Vultures... but any Shakespeare fans who can get to West London, I can't recommend this highly enough. Saw it last night.. so funny, different, surprising... not for those who like their Shakespeare traditional. Just happened to see an ad on the tube for it and so glad I went and booked. There were some empty seats in the stalls which is a shame for something so good. It really brought the plot alive, so would be good for any teens studying this for GCSE.

My DD went to see this at our local theatre in November with her school. As it was my birthday got myself a ticket and sat at the back where she couldn't see me,lol!

Glad I did - DD is year 8 - they all loved it and - not to give away the 'plot' - one of them 'volunteered' at start. Food fights and super hero's - Shakespeare would have loved it I'm sure:)

Really great for all ages (except perhaps primary school - but only 'cos a bit 'naughty' ;) )

Go see!

So pleased to read that somebody else enjoyed it as much as we did - thanks for your reply.
