Starring Olivier Award winner Michelle Terry as Titania/Hippolyta (described by The Guardian as ‘magnificently imperious’) and an irresistibly funny Pearce Quigley as Bottom, this touching new production by the Globe's Artistic Director Dominic Dromgoole features ‘consistently inventive’ staging that ‘beautifully captures both the humour and the disconcerting strangeness of the play’ (The Daily Telegraph). Filmed in High Definition and true surround sound. "Michelle Terry's Hippolyta/Titania is magnificently imperious ... and Pearce Quigley brings a caustic Lancastrian lugubriousness to Bottom, departing in a memorable hissy fit during rehearsals, suitcase in hand." (The Guardian ★★★) "Dominic Dromgoole's lively affectionate and consistently inventive staging beautifully captures both the humour and the disconcerting strangeness of the play. Matthew Tennyson proves a fascinatingly ethereal Puck ... Pearce Quigley's wonderfully enjoyable Bottom isn’t just the usual vainglorious bumpkin. He suggests a vein of northern melancholy too, and he is also extremely touchy. ... the greatest pleasure of this production is the rude mechanicals. They make their initial entrance performing a delightfully nifty clog dance and you really feel these are working men who know each other intimately. This a joyously inventive and touching production of The Dream, a work that seems particularly close to Shakespeare's heart." (The Daily Telegraph ★★★★) "Matthew Tennyson's Puck is beguilingly fey, while Luke Thompson, as a Lysander beaming with childlike over-enthusiasm, makes a professional debut of some note in this warm, comic production. ... a warm, comic vision ideally pitched to this performance space. [Dominic Dromgoole's] production bursts with crowd-pleasing gestures ..."

The two pairs of lovers were amazingly choreagraphed with all their complications. All the actors were top rate, especially John Light and Matthew Tennyson as Oberon and Ariel. But for me the star of the show was Pearce Quigley as Bottom. Arrogant, rude snotty even, but thoroughly thoroughly funny. And when with the Ass's Head even better. Extraordinary performance Review: By far and away the best Shakespeare I have ever seen - DVD issued yesterday, I watched it last night, spellbound. By far and away the best Shakespeare I have ever seen. Cannot single out any actor, all excel. Directed by Dominic Dromgoole, from whom I have leaned to expect great things; this Dream exceeds expectation. It's incredibly funny, most notably in every appearance of the clog dancing Mechanicals, but I found new meaning in the young lovers, even in Theseus and Hyppolita. How I wish I were able to get to the Globe to see their productions live. Failing that their DVDs bring me great joy, none more so than this. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Dominic Dromgoole, Fergal McElherron, Huss Garbiya, John Light, Joshua Silver, Luke Thompson, Michelle Terry, Olivia Ross, Pearce Quigley, Sarah MacRae Contributor Dominic Dromgoole, Fergal McElherron, Huss Garbiya, John Light, Joshua Silver, Luke Thompson, Michelle Terry, Olivia Ross, Pearce Quigley, Sarah MacRae See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 121 Reviews | | Format | Dolby, HiFi Sound, PAL, Surround Sound, Widescreen | | Genre | Classical | | Initial release date | 2014-09-01T00:00:01Z | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | DUCALE SNC DI MARCO MATALON E C. | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 2 hours and 52 minutes | | UPC | 809478011361 | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Classical - **Format:** Dolby, HiFi Sound, PAL, Surround Sound, Widescreen - **Contributor:** Fergal McElherron, Sarah MacRae, Joshua Silver, Olivia Ross, Huss Garbiya, Dominic Dromgoole, John Light, Pearce Quigley, Luke Thompson, Michelle Terry - **Initial release date:** 2014-09-01T00:00:01Z - **Language:** English ## Images ![A Midsummer Night's Dream: Shakespeare's Globe [DVD] [2014] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tg0o6b+mL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bottom is the best. *by N***R on 27 July 2015* This was one of the most hilarious productions I have seen.
