First Look At Sheridan Smith & More In UK MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

A preliminary peek at West End stage superstar Sheridan Smith and popular crossover personality David Walliams in the hotly anticipated new West End revival of William Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM is now available to view - and, it's quite a trip!

Colorful 1960s counter-culture-inspired costumes complete with beads, flowers and feathers accent the psychedelic hippie-themed take on Titania, Bottom and the rest of the cast of characters in the far-out new Michael Grandage production. Can't you dig it, man?!

The production is purportedly loosely inspired by the hippie movement as well as the modern-day desert-set revelry known as Burning Man, according to reports. These photos certainly proves it!

The official introductory description of Michael Grandage's production of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM is as follows: "A Midsummer Night's Dream is the famous comic play by the legendary Elizabethan playwright William Shakespeare. The play is a classic Shakespearean comedy set over five acts and focuses on themes of love, passion, magic, mistaken identity and even theatre itself. The production is one of the most widely performed of Shakespeare's back-catalog, and is a very popular choice for outdoor, seasonal productions."

Also, the synopsis is as follows: "Lysander loves Hermia and Hermia loves Lysander. Helena loves Demetrius; Demetrius used to love Helena but now loves Hermia. When Hermia's father insists she choose Demetrius as a suitor she escapes with Lysander into the surrounding forest where Oberon and Titania, the King and Queen of the Fairies are having their own battle of love. As the human and magical worlds collide mischief and chaos erupt as love at first sight proves a reality for some and makes an ass of others."
