"In her new production of Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Netia Jones takes us deep into the canopied groves of Oberon's forest, luring us into the nocturnal embrace of the wood with a heady 'physick' of disorientating visual charms "

"Fairy spotlights flash through a dappled argent backdrop as top-hatted fairies, sporting Andy Warhol-like blonde hair and tiny round sunglasses, streak across the stage. Rustling leaves, shot through with shafts of sunlight, place us in a woodland where danger lurks"
