INFORMATION:
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM by William Shakespeare
One young couple are hopelessly in love, another are in denial, a royal couple eagerly anticipating their wedding can't wait to get their hands on each other - and the fairy King and Queen hate each other's guts. Deep in the forest Puck makes a careless mistake and from this minor mishap, absolute uproar ensues. Amidst the mayhem a group of well-meaning but frankly talentless workmen try to rehearse a play.
A perennial favourite performed with a magical twist by award-winning Illyria.
THE MOWGLI STORIES (aka Jungle Book) by Rudyard Kipling
Mowgli is found as a tiny baby crawling through the jungle by a family of wolves and adopted as one of the pack. It soon becomes clear that although the "little frog" has less fur than the wolf, less speed than the panther and less agility than the monkey, his courage and wit mark him out as the future King of the Jungle. How then will he cope if he should ever encounter his own kind again?
Forget Disney’s Jungle Book, this performance of Kipling's classic is thoughtful, funny and very exciting. Suitable for smart grown-ups and brave children, aged 4 and over!

REVIEW – last year’s Merry Wives of Windsor
“ De acteurs zijn stuk voor stuk uiterst expressief en bezitten een groot talent voor komedie. De lol van het acteren spat van het toneel. Het is een mirakel dat een toneeltekst van ruim vierhonderd jaar oud zonder noemswaardige ingrepen nog zo goed werkt... Al met al een genot om mee te maken, desnoods zonder champagne.”
Translation:
“….The actors are one by one highly expressive and have a vast talent for comedy. Their enthusiasm is highly infectious! It is a miracle that a 400-year old txt still works so well…... All in all a great joy to watch, even without champagne!”
