FAIRIES, lovers, hapless actors, a disapproving father and, of course, oodles of theatrical magic.

It can only be A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one of William Shakespeare’s best loved and most performed plays.

Hermia loves Lysander and Lysander adores Hermia.

But Demetrius desires Hermia while Helena dotes on Demetrius.

All of this gets spun on its head by the intervention of Oberon and Puck.

Sell a Door Theatre Company’s new interpretation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream plays at the Hawthorne Theatre, Campus West, in Welwyn Garden City, on Friday, March 1 and Saturday, March 2.

Performances starts at 7.30pm.
