NOTHING ill met by moonlight or otherwise in this flawless interpretation of the Shakespeare classic by WMOS.

Perfectly matching a new musical score to the text of the play, Suzanne Hall and Peter Theobald created something magical in freshness and style, setting the piece away from togas and Athenian arches. More Hobbiton alongside "Green Man" mysticism, beautiful idealistic dandelions hung over a multi layered set, every inch expertly used by a deliciously dressed, lit, professional and engaging cast.

Enhanced by Theobald's Regency reflecting score, the direction bubbled in humour and subtlety, never distracting from the main themes of the original. The Mechanicals pumped out every comic nuance to hilarious effect in the play within play sequence whilst the four lovers gymnastically threw themselves into their roles with energetic aplomb. Peter Lucas as Puck belied his 11 years with assured stage presence, whilst Katie Hickson majestic as Titania and Adrian Hickson, an impish Oberon, presided over perfection in entertainment all round.
