A Midsummer Night's Dream

Event Type

Genre : Theatre

Description

The Award winning Flabbergast Theatre bring a rambunctious approach to Shakespeare?s much-loved comedy A Midsummer Night?s Dream, Goblins and Sprites run amok as the King and Queen of the Faeries settle a spat causing havoc among the humans caught up in their machinations.
The action focusses on a troupe of players travelling with their beautiful vintage Haywain frantically multi-role-ing and bringing the world to life with joy and excitement.
Arcadian folk songs, slapstick comedy, and mask work combine with a respectful approach to the text, an irreverent attitude and a focus on storytelling to bring the magic of midsummer alive with physical comedy, song, and dance.

Shakespeare?s words wrung into new shapes through raw physical movement?
as captivating as it is unsettling?
This is a Macbeth full of sound and fury, signifying something with every crooked gesture.

Everything you want?in this brilliantly designed show the turns themselves seem to have risen up out of the clay?Shakespeare himself would surely have enjoyed [this show]
I am glad my kids saw this. It will have made them lifelong converts of real theatre? I am glad I saw it, because it reminded me of being 19 in 1987 and coming here and having my mind blown?

British Theatre Guide ?????
?[Flabbergast Theatre] powerfully emphasize the darkly metaphysical nature of the play??relentless action and invention. Every perfectly constructed, tightly choreographed moment in the play is explored for maximum impact and clarity of purpose??This is an exciting and vital interpretation of Macbeth which serves to invigorate one of Shakespeare?s best-known plays with a new intensity.?
For Macbeth 2022

Bouquets and Brickbats ?????
this raucous, visceral reimagining of the story captures the essence of the piece more eloquently than pretty much any other production I?ve seen.
The Tragedy of Macbeth ends with a heartfelt standing ovation from the crowd and it is fully deserved. Don?t miss this, it?s a wonder to behold.

Voice Mag ?????
?When a classic has been done again and again, it?s hard to make it unique. However, that wasn?t the case for Flabbergast Theatre. Lending physical theatre to Shakespeare works so well, and the cast of this Tragedy of Macbeth have proved that once again???The chemistry between the cast was palpable ? Flabbergast Theatre stayed loyal to a classic but approached it in a refreshing and visually beautiful way?

Mumble ?????
?Boy! have they produced a massive Macbeth. It looks beautiful, the cast create some stunning scenery using their angular bodies with a minimum of propwork, & all that drumming & Dantean wailing sounds more than amazing? This Macbeth is a stunning production? a Scorpion?s worth of theatre, with a vicious sting in its tail. A pleasure to watch.?
