A Midsummer Night's Dream (2021): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2021, A Midsummer Night's Dream is a notable film directed by Sean Holmes, running about 135 minutes. “‘I have had a most rare vision. I had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was.’” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Four love-drunk teens, escaped from the confines of an oppressive regime, caught in a dispute of increasingly magical proportions. A posse of wannabe actors, determined to put on a play against the odds. The Fairy Queen and King at war, and one wild spirit hell-bent on causing as much havoc as possible. What could possibly go wrong? Our colourful, chaotic and 'utterly joyous' (Time Out) production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream was praised by critics and audiences alike in both 2019 and 2021.

Who’s in it. A Midsummer Night's Dream stars Shona Babayemi as Helena, Peter Bourke as Oberon, Rachel Hannah Clarke as Snug and Bryan Dick as Lysander, among others.
