Critic Reviews (10)

Time Out London
June 12th, 2019

...a riotously gender-fluid immersive production... Even if you ignore all the bells, whistles and man-snogs, the fact of the matter is that Hytner has assembled a preposterously good comedy cast.'

...combining eroticism and enchantment, levity and darkness, Hytner’s latest hit scales the heights...it’s not just a show for (almost) all ages but one that deserves to be talked about for years to come.'

This is not to say it’s not a lot of fun... the production has a timely embracive message, is easy to follow and enjoy. There’s clarity of verse throughout... but what it lacks is clarity of purpose.'

...Nicholas Hytner’s gloriously funny, immersive take on A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Bridge Theatre...David Moorst excels as the obstreperous hobgoblin Puck.'

The Arts Desk
June 12th, 2019

...a feat of exuberant brilliance, a gender-juggling romp that takes Shakespeare’s subversive text and polishes it so that it glints and shines like a glitterball at a disco.'
