A Midsummer Night's Dream at the British Embassy Gardens

 

In celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the British Embassy and ASP & CO Ltd in association with Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait is delighted to announce the forthcoming production of William Shakespeare’s top comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream which will take place in the Embassy Garden at 19.00 on 15 and 16 March 2012.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a ONE WORLD Production bringing together multi-cultural performers of Kuwait. The running time will last approximately 1.5 hours, without an interval and is a show packed with dance, song and fun, a ‘Shortcut to Shakespeare’ and his wonderful world of words. Set in Athens, in 1930, at a reception given by Egeus, to celebrate Duke Theseus’ forthcoming wedding to Hippolyta, the action quickly moves to an enchanted wood in Ancient Greece with its comedic chaos and happy conclusion. This production is suitable for all ages. Refreshments will be available to purchase after the production.
