You may think you know A Midsummer Night’s Dream but the all-male group Propeller give one of the Bard’s best loved comedies a whole new lease of life.

From the moment Joseph Chance appears from a metal box in the middle of the stage as Puck it is clear that this is no ordinary production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Edward Hall’s direction will have you laughing out loud.

The play is explored from the fairies’ perspective, which is immediately evident from the bizarre set with a mess-like white backdrop and suspended white chairs. This, combined with psychedelic lighting and internally generated music, breaths fresh life into the play.

Although the cast is all male, thankfully they never teeter too close to pantomime dame territory and the cross-dressing element adds to the hilarity of the production, along with the impeccable timing and more than a spattering of slapstick.

Despite the 12 o’clock shadow, Matthew McPherson, who also plays Starveling the tailor, makes a convincing Hermia and together with Dan Wheeler, who plays Helena, had me close to tears during the perfectly acted quarrel scene.

It’s hard to pick a stand-out moment from such a well-oiled production but if I had to the play within a play would be it, I can’t think of another piece of theatre that is so ridiculously funny.

Even if it takes some impish foul play, you should do what you can to get your hands on a ticket.
