《仲夏夜之夢》The Midsummer's Night Dream

一版你從沒見過的《仲夏夜之夢》
莎士比亞喜劇化身最棒的夏日派對
沉浸式體驗如同置身活力無限的夢幻夜店

以班·維蕭(Ben Whishaw)版《凱撒大帝》初試沉浸式體驗的塔橋劇院藝術總監尼可拉斯海特納(Nicholas Hytner)，再次為《仲夏夜之夢》帶來了極具感染力的狂歡體驗：演員像表演雜技般攀附在鞦韆上，場中觀眾在擊打中傳遞著碩大的氣球，最終的狂歡之舞將塔橋劇院變成一個充滿無限感官可能性的夢幻夜店。

此版複排由當紅劇集《權力遊戲》系列中演出布蕾妮的格溫多蘭克里斯蒂(Gwendoline Christie)，攜手演出多部NT Live劇目，如《一僕二主》《第十二夜》《青年卡爾》的喜劇小生-奧利佛克里斯(Oliver Chris)領銜主演。角色性別的轉變挑戰了二元對立的兩性觀念，絕妙的舞臺設計充滿了夢幻感，完全點燃了莎劇中潛藏的當代神經，被媒體盛讚為「今夏最棒的派對」。

這部莎士比亞最受歡迎的浪漫喜劇，講述了顛鸞倒鳳的愛情：不願從父命結婚的赫米婭與情人拉山德逃進了森林，被赫米婭拒絕的狄米特律斯與赫米婭的好友，同時也愛著狄米特律斯的海倫娜也跟著進了森林。不料森林中的仙王仙后鬧彆扭，在頑皮小精靈派克的魔汁戲弄下，四人愛情顛倒、好友反目成情敵，連仙王也愛上了一頭由紡織工變成的蠢驢。

A feuding fairy King and Queen of the forest cross paths with four runaway lovers and a troupe of actors trying to rehearse a play. As their dispute grows, the magical royal couple meddle with mortal lives leading to love triangles, mistaken identities and transformations… with hilarious, but dark consequences.

Shakespeare’s most famous romantic comedy was filmed live at the Bridge Theatre in London.. Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), Oliver Chris (Green Wing, NT Live: Young Marx), David Moorst (NT Live: Allelujah!) and Hammed Animashaun (The Barber Shop Chronicles) lead the cast as Titania, Oberon, Puck and Bottom.

This production re-unites the team responsible for last year’s smash hit Julius Caesar including Tony and Olivier award winning director Nicholas Hytner (The History Boys, One Man Two Guvnors). The Bridge Theatre once again becomes a forest – a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot.
