Russell T Davies' bold adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream features a stellar cast including Maxine Peake, Matt Lucas and John Hannah.
In the tyrannical court of Athens, pitiless dictator Theseus plans his wedding to Hippolyta, a prisoner of war, and young Hermia is sentenced to death by her own father. Meanwhile, in the town below, amateur theatre group the Mechanicals rehearse, with all their comic rivalries. And beyond Athens, in the wild woods, dark forces are stirring.

Kinda funny that there’s both a bbc adaptation of this play starring Matt Lucas, and one that mentions on of his character (nick bottom doing a Daffyd impression in retold).
