The Little will screen A Midsummer Night's Dream (Nicholas Hytner, U.K. 2019, 180 min.) as part of the NT Live Series.

'The course of true love never did run smooth.'

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 will be captured live from the Bridge Theatre in London.
