En attendant le songe, adapted from William Shakespeare

A voyage through the history of theatre, adapted for all ages...

- L'Eclaireur

Irina Brook was seven when she first experienced “the magic of this extraordinary prose”. During the 1970s, her father, renowned theatre director Peter Brook, directed a celebrated production of Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream in England. Three decades later, Irina has stepped into his shoes with this groundbreaking, minimalist project, born from her desire to bring theatre to places which traditionally have been starved of cultural activity. A flamboyant, sharp and lively adaptation in which six male actors using pink nighties and white parasols, play the parts of young brides and irreverent fairies... and a Puck who’s more “funky” than ever. A bringing-together of entertainment, tradition and modernity; a different way of appealing to the public, restoring the festive spirit which used to be an integral part of travelling productions.
