A Midsummer Night’s Dream
dir. Rafał Szumski

GOLDEN YORICK COMPETITION / PERFORMANCE/ 1H50

The director has managed to extract from “A  midsummer night’s dream” its comic potential and its serious tones, which lead to reflection,  and to establish a very successful humorous and entertaining stratum. (…) With great pleasure, and, sometimes with genuine laughter, we watch all these linings stratified by Rafał Szumski. Some of these, in the final reckoning, turn out to be very uncomfortable.”

/ Anna Jazgarska, Teatralny.pl


Vitality, joy, passion, but also a deep reflection on the nature of relations. Here are intermingled multi-dimensional worlds and fascinating figures, in whose destinies we can regard ourselves, as if in a mirror. An intriguing tale of various shades of love. In a word, an excellent comedy and a delicious morsel – as the play’s director states.
