Our summer revival of A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Sam Clarkson, opened last week to a warm critical reception. A selection of reviews below.
The Stage: "A mischievous, folkloric production that never once feels dutiful. Clarkson's Puck — a startling Niamh Doran, moving through the auditorium on silks — is the best I've seen in years. ★★★★★"
The Guardian: "Every bit as enchanting as it sounds. Bottom's transformation lands a genuine shiver; the mechanicals' play-within-a-play is laugh-out-loud funny. This is Shakespeare you can bring a ten-year-old to. ★★★★"
Yorkshire Post: "A love letter to the Dales, dressed up as a love letter to Shakespeare. We left smelling of bracken. ★★★★"
WhatsOnStage: "Northfield's ensemble company at their confident best. ★★★★"
A Midsummer Night's Dream runs in the Main Auditorium until 14 June. Tickets from £12.
