Multi award-winning ensemble The Faction, renowned for their intelligent interrogation of classic texts combined with powerful group physicality, return with this new production offering a fresh look at one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Re-examining the linguistic detail of Shakespeare’s verse, The Faction create unforgettable visual moments, unleashing the magic, energy and mayhem of this work, from the raw power of the fairies’ rituals to an ass’s head created entirely from the ensemble’s arms and fingers.
One Midsummer’s night, four young lovers, six local tradespeople and an entire kingdom of warring fairies descend upon the Athenian woods. This production will take advantage of the beautiful architecture of Wilton’s Music Hall, fusing the character of the building with the design of the set.
