“The verse is handled with microscopic precision as Nunn relocates Shakespeare’s comedy to a world of diplomats and cocktails where Theseus becomes a white-suited Mountbatten figure.” Michael Billington – The Guardian ★★★★☆

“The Raj setting for Trevor Nunn’s latest production fits like a glove, making this a really fine midsummer’s night out. It’s a happy homecoming and a mighty achievement”
Dominic Maxwell – The Times ★★★★☆

“Sir Trevor may have left A Midsummer Night’s Dream to last, but it is a masterpiece to complete his directorial canon on.”

“It’s a visually rich production, played with great style and pace by the large, very experienced cast… fast, inventive, thoughtful and hugely entertaining”
Andrew Clarke, East Anglian Daily Times
