When midsummer’s night becomes midsummer’s day, the lovers are reunited, the fairies return to the woods, and after his strange adventure Bottom rejoins his fellow mechanicals. A wedding is about to take place.

As evening descends, cabaret descends into chaos. These tuxedos have been taken apart, decorated and then reassembled to make a suitable flashy impression on the royal audience. They were completed with tights, ruffs and of course red noses.

The production was directed by Sue Rider and designed by Christopher Smith.
