The Art of Catastrophe

The Academy of Creative Training Present  A Midsummer’s
Night Dream

Directed by Ralf Higgins

Tickets £8/£7 conc from ACT
on 01273 818266

Shakespeare's dream turns nightmare in this contemporary, re-interpretation of the play. Director, Ralf Higgins says: "This dream is closer to a nightmare; the course of true love never did run smooth, especially when death threats are issued willy nilly and your beloved goes bi-polar on you."

Inspired by the work of controversial Catalan director Calixto Bieito, film director David Lynch and Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara, with a brooding soundtrack influenced by Twin Peaks composer, Angelo Badalamenti, this Dream will be one to remember.

Not suitable for easily-shocked adults and definitely not for children.
