		<title>A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to the moronic incompetence of South West Trains and a view of passengers as The Enemy rather than valued customers, I arrived at Kingston&#039;s Rose Theatre with -30 seconds to spare.
I know listening to someone&#039;s commuting woes is about as interesting as listening to their dreams, but the point is, I was in a really foul temper to start with. I emerged nearly three hours later with a fixed and goofy smile on my face, undismayed even by the prospect of my return journey. A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream may, indeed, be &#034;the silliest stuff that ever I heard&#034;,&#8230; (continued)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A quick update from me this evening, as I&#039;ve just added all of the recent reviews for A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream to the website.
I&#039;ve also added a fantastic Evening Standard interview with Rachael, which you can read here: Rachael Stirling is a rising stage star &#8212; and she&#039;s in love with her ass (this refers to her boyfriend, Oliver Chris, who plays Bottom).
In the interview, Rachael mentions that she writes restaurant reviews for Diplomat magazine, and I have added those to the site as well. I recommend that you read them as they&#039;re very funny and well-written.&#8230; (continued)]]></description>

		<title>A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Judi Dench last played Titania in 1962 for Peter Hall in William Shakespeare&#039;s Dream, John F. Kennedy was in the White House, Nelson Mandela was starting a 27-year jail term and many thought the world would end with the Cuban missile crisis.
Incredibly, though, Dame Judi is back in the same role, once more under the supervision of Sir Peter &#8212; both having been to Buckingham Palace in the interim.
Hall&#039;s big idea in casting Dench as the Queen of the Fairies was to set her as a surrogate of Queen Elizabeth I. Yet in all honesty there is&#8230; (continued)]]></description>

		<title>Rachael Stirling is a rising stage star &#8212; and she&#039;s in love with her ass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do not mean to spend the entire interview with Rachael Stirling, the Olivier-nominated star of The Royal Court&#039;s The Priory and daughter of Dame Diana Rigg, making jokes about her Bottom. But it becomes unavoidable.
She started it, gushing about the highlight of the production of A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream she is starring in, at The Rose Theatre, Kingston.
Not Dame Judi Dench, but Bottom. &#034;Ours is this gangly, young, bombastic Bottom. People run up to him afterwards and say, You&#039;re the best Bottom I&#039;ve ever seen&#039;.&#034; She speaks at length about the &#034;young comic actor&#034; playing Bottom&#8230; (continued)]]></description>

		<title>A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the making of theatrical history. Opening at the Rose Theatre in Kingston, based on the designs for an earlier Rose Theatre, is A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream starring Dame Judi Dench, who at the age of 75 was cast by Sir Peter Hall to recreate her role as Titania, which she had first played for him in 1962. The basis for this choice was Dench&#039;s Oscar winning role as Queen Elizabeth in the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love and so in the opening scene of this production we see the Queen leaving a room full of, first kneeling, then&#8230; (continued)]]></description>

		<title>A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bringing Dame Judi and Sir Peter together again has brought Kingston&#039;s Rose Theatre an international standing, while Hall&#039;s resulting production, an enchanting celebration of love and theatrical magic, will cast a spell over all those who flock to see it.
If Shakespeare&#039;s setting is mythical Greece, Hall&#039;s staging is handsomely Elizabethan &#8212; black and silver costumes for the fairies, creamy whites for the lovers and rust shades for the nobles to match Queen Elizabeth&#039;s red wig. Indeed, Dench makes her first entrance as Gloriana, accepting a playbill before waving the actors to begin.
As the English queen she then returns&#8230; (continued)]]></description>

		<title>A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dame Judi Dench first played Titania for director Peter Hall and the Royal Shakespeare Company in the 1960s. Now, she returns to the role in a different incarnation of the fairy queen in Hall&#039;s new production of William Shakespeare&#039;s A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream at the Rose Theatre in Kingston-upon-Thames, and the award-winning star delivers a truly accomplished performance.
Dench plays the queen of the forest as an aging Queen Elizabeth I, stiff and regal in her ruff and pearl-studded bodice, and sporting a wig of tight tangerine curls. She is severe to begin with, rather similar in manner and bearing&#8230; (continued)]]></description>

		<title>A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Peter Hall directed A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream 48 years ago, Judi Dench was a crystalline Titania. Now she is reprising her role as the queen of the fairies, with Hall again sprinkling the magic dust on Shakespeare&#039;s most enchanting comedy.     
The action is set in Athens, but steeped in the hues of Elizabethan England. Dench&#039;s Titania corresponds to the mythic Virgin Queen &#8212; red-haired, imperious, and bespangled with symbolic jewels, vividly recalling her turn in Shakespeare In Love.
Consequently, as the fairies practise their ethereal mischief, there&#039;s more than a hint of political intrigue. The play depicts the agonies&#8230; (continued)]]></description>
