Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Brings A Midsummer Night's Dream To Singapore! {Giveaway}

Shakespeare fans, you're in luck. 

It isn't everyday that a world famous theatre company comes into town to stage one of the bard's best known plays in its full glory -- and I have TICKETS TO GIVEAWAY!

As I mentioned in my previous post, come 13-16 November, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre will be performing A Midsummer's Night Dream at the Esplanade Theatre. Promising to be visual treat with stunning Renaissance costumes and staging, this production, directed by the acclaimed Dominic Dromgoole, will be a re-working of the Globe's award winning 2013 version.

If you are not familiar with the story, A Midsummer Night's Dream is the comic tale involving four young lovers and a group of amateur actors, and their interactions with a band of fairies in the forest through which they wander. Hermia loves Lysander and Helena loves Demetrius -- but Demetrius is supposed to be marrying Hermia… When the Duke of Athens tries to enforce the marriage, the lovers take refuge in the woods and wander into the midst of a dispute between the king and queen of the fairies. Throw in a group of amateur actors rehearsing the play for the Duke's upcoming wedding and some mischief and magic, and what you get is a glittering, hilarious and inventive play about the world's favourite past time -- falling in love. After all don't we all know that "the course of true love never did run smooth"?
