Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse associate director Nick Bagnall will direct his first play for the company this spring with a dark, contemporary telling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Everyman.
Bagnall’s previous interpretations of Shakespeare include Henry VI trilogy for Shakespeare’s Globe which also toured to battlefields around the country. The cast features Cynthia Erivo as Puck and Dean Nolan as Bottom, while Andrew Schofield returns to the Everyman stage for the first time in ten years.
The production runs at the Hope Street venue from March 21 to April 18.
