Well obviously I have no idea what was in the great man's mind when he wrote about fairies and humans and the fun and games that could be had in the middle of the night. I don't, however, believe he intended this play to be acted out in the most 'camp as christmas manner' that it was in Cheltenhams beautiful Everyman theatre last Tuesday evening!

It was absolutely hysterical, well acted but along the lines of Graham Norton and his troupe of merry men do Shakespeare. It was a bit of a disappointment after seeing a wonderfully pretty and atmospheric rendition of the same play done by the Northcott players outside in the park in Exeter. But there are many ways to interpret the play and indeed to show it and this was highly enjoyable.

Would I recommend it? Yeah, it was a great night out, a really good laugh and a fun way to spend an evening.
