    A bachelor party with poltergeist, elves and goblins

    A comedy by William Shakespeare, adapted by Michael Niavarani

    Director: Michael Niavarani & Helena Scheuba

    Michael Niavarani does it again: After Richard III and Romeo & Juliet, it's now Shakespeare's turn to take on his most famous comedy - A Midsummer Night's Dream.

    "You won't believe what you see. Enchanted by magical demons, if you're not careful, you'll fall in love with the person sitting next to you and won't want to go home with your husband. What's going on? It's simple: when lovers promise each other eternal desire and then keep loving someone else - then that was Puck!" (Michael Niavarani)

    In Michael Niavarani's A Midsummer Night's Dream, things get spooky and magical: Puck, the poltergeist, is at work when lovers promise each other eternal desire and then keep falling in love with someone else. And when Puck, who makes life difficult for us, distributes love hormones, it can happen that a woman rubs her eyes and asks: "Did I just sleep with a donkey?" The fairy queen and the fairy king fight over their adopted child and, lo and behold, the elements go crazy. Everything is just like in real life. And when an untalented acting troupe rehearses the tragedy of "Pyramus and Thisbe" in the forest, it becomes unintentionally funny. A happy ending for all lovers is guaranteed.
