ShakespeaRe-Told. A Midsummer Night's Dream
Description
Theo and Polly host a party in Dream Park to celebrate their daughter Hermia's engagement to James, but when Xander, Hermia's true love, shows up to dispute the betrothal, it takes magical intervention to set things right. Peter Bowker adapts Shakespeare's unusual romantic comedy where the problems of mortal love are mirrored in interlocking plots between Fairyland and the modern world. Bill Patterson plays Theo, Imelda Staunton is Polly, and the sly Puck is portrayed by Dean Lennox Kelly. Produced by BBC Northern Ireland and Horsebridge Productions.
