About the Author:
About Propeller Shakespeare: Propeller is an all-male Shakespeare company which mixes a rigorous approach to the text with a modern physical aesthetic. They look for as many ways as possible to inform the physical life of the production with the poetry of the text, giving as much control as possible to the actor in telling the story. Over the last fifteen years, Propeller has performed Shakespeare in over twenty two countries. In 2011 Propeller reached nearly one hundred thousand people worldwide.
Review:
"Lively and inventive - The production fully conveys the play's pastoral comedy. Indeed, there are moments where it threatens to turn into a stage version of a bucolic musical festival - Glastonbury with more wildlife... there are laughs aplenty' Evening Standard 'Hall's staging has a dazed, dreamlike quality - The production has a spell-binding beauty to it' Financial Times 'This production is great fun... The light-hearted Bohemian scenes lead to Shakespeare's truly magical ending, guaranteeing that everyone will leave the theatre with a smile on their faces.' British Theatre Guide "
