A Midsummer Night’s Dream

The Poshi and I went to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream tonight.  I had chosen to go because I wanted to see the most “out there” thing on the Festival Program and I figured Shakespeare in Korean would be about it.

I was prepared for high, difficult art.  I was steeling myself to sit through it and roll with it and “enjoy” the experience.

It was fantastic.  Easily the best theatre I have seen in a long time.  Engaging, hilarious, infectious, poetic, physical – the opening night audience gave the players a standing ovation and three encores.

There are a couple of twists on the bard’s original.  The roles of the king and queen of the fairies are turned about – the queen is getting her king back for been unfaithful and makes him fall in love with an old woman who gathers herbs on the mountains and is turned into a pig (rather than a donkey).  Puck is split into twins who are so funny and adorable you warm to them from the first minute – when they come on stage to tell you to turn your mobile off.

The fight scene between the two girls is hilarious and beautifully choreographed.  I just loved Ik – the Helena character.

I loved it all. We were so uplifted by the experience it felt as if we were walking on air.

If you go and see only one thing at the festival THIS IS THE ONE TO SEE!  I’m thinking of going back for seconds and taking the kids.

And I’ve just found out – it was the hit of the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe Festival – and they didn’t even have the luxury of surtitles!
