Photo Flash: Inside Rehearsal For Bridge Theatre's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
Gwendoline Christie, Oliver Chris, David Moorst and Hammed Animashaun lead the cast as Titania, Oberon, Puck and Bottom in Nicholas Hytner's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream which has its first performance in the Bridge Theatre's immersive format on Monday 3 June.
The theatre becomes the forest - a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels. The seating is wrapped around the action while the immersive tickets allow the story to be followed on foot.
The production re-unites the team responsible for last year's smash-hit Julius Caesar. Direction is by Nicholas Hytner, design byBunny Christie, costume by Christina Cunningham, lighting by Bruno Poet and sound by Paul Arditti. Joining the team will be composer Grant Olding and movement director Arlene Phillips.

A Midsummer Night's Dream runs at the Bridge Theatre from 3 June - 31 August 2019 and has its opening night on Tuesday 11 June 2019. Evening performances are Monday to Saturday at 7.30pm with weekday and Saturday matinees at 2.30pm.
