The Acting Gymnasium Sets A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at Modern Music Festival

The Acting Gymnasium will present A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare this September.

Adapted and directed by Gavin McAlinden and set in modern music Festival culture, this is a radical reimagining of Shakespeare's tale of youth, love, sex, drugs, music, mistaken identity and bad trips!

Following the success last year of Romeo and Juliet described by critics as 'dazzling', The Acting Gymnasium returns to Theatro Technis with a new and modern imagining of Shakespeare's most popular comedy.

Performances will play Theatro Technis, 26 Crowndale Road, NW1 1TT. Dates: 4/9, 6/9, 8/9, 10/9, 12/9, 13/9, 16/9 at 7.30pm; 9/9 at 2.30pm; Press nights 6/9 & 8/9 at 7.30pm.

Up next is La Ronde by Arthur Schnitzler. The inspiration behind THE BLUE ROOM described by critics as 'pure theatrical viagra', and Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT - this rarely seen fin-de-siecle tale of sexual intrigue and morality receives a new production adapted and directed by Gavin McAlinden.

Dates: 5/9, 7/9, 9/9, 11/9, 14/9, 15/9 @ 7.30pm; 10/9, 16/9 @ 2.30pm; Press nights 7/9 & 7/9 @ 7.30pm.
