ACTRESSA Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare Southwark Playhouse
February 2009
Directed by Jonathan Man and re-imagined in Samurai Japan, this was a physically and visually striking production. Inspired by various elements of Noh, Kabuki and Kyogen theatrical traditions, the production also aspired to simplicity and clarity of storytelling.
