A Midsummer Night's Dream In New Orleans

Why See A Midsummer Night's Dream In New Orleans?

Off West End

Shakespeare as you've never seen it before

With it's legendary history steeped in voodoo magic amidst the deliriously humid miasmas of the bayous, what better place to set Shakespeare's fantastical comedy about manipulative faeries, mischievous sprites and the fevers of love, desire and jealousy?

Featuring a live musical score of classic New Orleans Jazz and Blues including compositions by Dr. John, Louis Armstrong, Randy Newman and Professor Longhair, A Midsummer Night's Dream gets a Southern makeover by Ruby In The Dust Theatre Company, a London-based outfit dedicated to producing theatre classics with an unusual twist or two!

What we thought

perfect HILARIOUS Entertaining

It seems the psychedelia, magic and mischief of A Midsummer Night's Dream was tailor-made for the Voodoo-soaked landscapes of Louisiana.

"Linnie Reedman's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in New Orleans swallowed the audience whole and made them complicit in the enthralling revelry and farcical confusion of the bard's deliriously funny play."
