For me this is one of the most entertaining of Shakespeare's plays, taking a simple and relatable premise of parental disapproval over ones affections and mixing it with the mysterious and unknown forces to produce a crescendo of misunderstanding.

This is played exceptionally well by a strong cast who have excellent comic timing. These moments are elevated by simple practical effects and impressive lighting.

While the performance begins a little dry, it does the best it can with the source material which naturally starts a little slower than a modern audience is familiar with. Once the stage is set and we know who the characters are, it moves on at pace.

Ryan Hutton, playing Lysander, delivered some of the most impressive physical comedy this reviewer has ever seen, slinking around the stage to perfectly punctuate the dialogue's humour. All around the play was a riot, and no one will forget the performance of and around the wall.

Simple transformations of the space took us effectively between the scenes without taking away from the cast's performances. The occasional special effect was balanced perfectly to add to the play without making it a focus or a gimmick.

Well played, and well produced. It'll take some beating.

The theatre is a wonderful setting for any Shakespeare play, purpose-built with knowledge of the productions to come it affords the intimacy familiar to the original setting of the plays while providing enough space feel unconstrained.

The views aren't as ideal as could be but this is largely to allow a more traditional arrangement of seating rather than trying to squeeze too many seats in and is still better than many theatres.

Despite the surprising capacity of the theatre, most seats appear to benefit from a closeness to the stage that helps bring you into the action and the stage splays out from the middle to stretch across the audience along two paths, bringing immersion and dynamism to the production.
