This is the best version of Midsummer Night's Dream that I have seen. The staging is absolutely full of dark and atmospheric effects which makes it exciting and dynamic. Kathryn Hunter was an absolutely captivating and humorous Puck with all of her contortions and physical acting. The 4 main players really let loose and played up the ridiculousness of the love quadrangle between them which allowed us to laugh at all the right moments, and for it not to be too serious during this part of the play which I feel it can often be. We are not supposed to empathise with the 4 youngsters as if they are victims of circumstance but we are meant to laugh at the follies of youth and the ridiculousness of the magical accidents. It is meant to be a comedy. And this version really got that. If you can get your hands on this it is definitely the one worth watching.
