Award-winning Ballet Cymru presents its version of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Preston Charter theatre next Wednesday, June 7.

Mendelssohn’s music is interpreted by artistic director Darius James and highlights sparkling costumes, sets and video projection.

A world of magic and mayhem is created where Queen of the Fairies Titania, and Puck, the mischievous messenger, inhabit the supernatural fairy kingdom.

Meanwhile, Bottom and his boot-wearing “Mechanicals” present their famous play Pyramus and Thisbe while four lost lovers, caught in a web of mistaken identity and confusion, finally find their way through the Athenian forest to a reconciliation.
