About

A Midsummer Night’s Dream reunites Peter Hall and Judi Dench, an enduring theatrical partnership lasting some fifty years.

Set in Elizabethan England, Peter Hall’s new production sees Titania, the Fairy Queen, as a portrait of the ageing Queen Elizabeth I, fascinated with the theatre, besieged by courtiers but ‘married to the people of England’

Judi Dench first played Titania for Peter Hall with the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1962 and they have subsequently worked together on productions such as Antony and Cleopatra (National Theatre), The Royal Family (Haymarket) and Hay Fever (West End).
