Michael Niavarani has done it again: after Richard III. And Romeo and Juliet is now Shakespeare’s most famous comedy – A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
“You won’t believe what you see. Magical demons will bewitch you if you’re not careful
You fall in love with the person sitting next to you and no longer want to go home with your husband. What is going on there? It’s simple: when lovers promise each other an eternity and then go on to love someone else – that’s the pinch! (Michael Niavarani)
In Michael Niavarani’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, things get weird and magical: Puck, a poltergeist, is at work when lovers promise an eternal desire for each other, then find themselves perpetually falling in love with someone else. And when Puck, making life difficult for us, distributes love hormones, it can happen that a woman rubs her eyes and asks: “Did you just sleep with a donkey?” Everything is like in real life. And when a struggling troupe of actors rehearses the tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe in the woods, things get unintentionally funny. All lovers are guaranteed a happy ending.
Comedy by William Shakespeare, adapted by Michael Niavarani
Director: Michael Niavarani and Helena Skuba
