The premiere performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream was greeted by deafening applause and endless encores last night in the Lovrijenac Fortress. In front of a packed audience the opening night of the Midsummer Scene festival was an absolute hit.

With a creative set design, brilliant Bollywood choreography, superb acting and the atmospheric stone fortress as a background the performance of A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream is a hit.

Numerous locals and tourists enjoyed this English language Shakespeare theatre and the Midsummer Scene runs through until the 5th of July. This production is directed by Helen Tennison and the British cast is supported by an international creative team. These performances, and this will be the fourth year that the Midsummer Scene, has been held, have been critically acclaimed and the combination of the Shakespeare and the Dubrovnik seems to be a winning one.

Midsummer Festival Scene is a project of the City of Dubrovnik and the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, and produced by Brilliant Events Dubrovnik and Honey-tongued Theatre Productions from London.
