A Midsummer Night's Dream
4 July – 2 September 2000
Magdalen College School Grounds
INTRODUCTION
A fast paced drama with intelligent acting, this was the first time Creation had tackled a Shakespearean comedy. But with stilt walking, magic, and conjuring tricks, this production set a standard for Creation shows as lively, original and accessible.
REVIEWS
"Manages to enthrall you from start to finish, bring you to your feet at the end to give a standing ovation, mesmerize you with special effects and magic, have you laughing and crying as the plot thickens...It's got to be one of the most innovative, fun, transfixing and beautifully acted plays you will ever see."
OXFORD MAIL
"If you want a brilliant night our seeing a stunning spectacle and a great play - don't miss it."
THE OXFORD JOURNAL
"Really it is impossible to singles out any one of these factors. Quite simply, Creation are a class act, and Oxford should feel privileged to have them ply their trade here this summer' This Midsummer Night's Dream is funny, exciting and spellbinding: see it if you can."
