Site-specific promenade production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' staged in the gardens of Wintershall Estate and Burnt Norton Gardens. Also performed at RADA Festival, Dorset Opera Festival, Guildford Festival and Christ Church, Chelsea. Produced by BurntOut Theatre.
“Spiffingly good…Keep an eye out for these guys. They are hot and going places!” – Nicolas Mansfield, Director of Nationale Reisopera of The Netherlands
“The tumultuous reception was well-deserved as Reynolds successfully incorporated traditional elements, including the use of Elizabethan costume, with unconventional staging (the cast flitted from the aisles, balconies and pews of the church), all together creating an innovative production which by no means lost the magic of the original story.”
– Kensington and Chelsea Magazine
A moveable feast!” – Nicci Brown, Forum Focus
“Truly exceptional” – Prue Leith
“Fabulous…the space [used] so brilliantly” – Rupert Gregson-Williams, Film Composer
“It was a pleasure experiencing BurntOut’s production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ in the enchanting garden of Burnt Norton. The company of gifted young actors from London drama schools gave a very spirited performance… The director, Clemmie Reynolds, used Burnt Norton’s lawns, alleys and glades to full effect in capturing the magic and menace of the forest near Athens”
– Roger Pringle, former Director of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust
