Middle Temple Hall, 6.30pm
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the play, with Mendelssohn’s Score
(chorus)
To mark the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare where would be more appropriate than the historic Middle Temple Hall, where Twelfth Night was first performed? This sparkling production of one of Shakespeare’s happiest plays features eight actors and will be directed by David Edwards and designed by Colin Mayes, the team responsible for the highly acclaimed Dido and Aeneas in Middle Temple Hall in 2008. The Outcry Ensemble of 36 players, conducted by James Henshaw, Assistant Chorus Master at English National Opera, will fill the Hall with Mendelssohn’s music.
