Further casting announced for A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM at Stafford Gatehouse

The Gatehouse Theatre have announced further casting for A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which runs from 23 June-9 July.

Jonathan Hyde (Titanic, Richie Rich) will play Nick Bottom, alongside Milly Zero (The Crown, EastEnders) as Hermia, who join the previously announced Kerry Ellis as Titania.

Jonathan Hyde said: “Shakespeare is very special to me, and so is A Midsummer Night’s Dream; I played Puck in 1978 in the Benjamin Britten opera of the Dream at the Sydney Opera House. And Isobel Buchanan, who was singing Helena, married me two years later. So, to be reunited with the Dream 45 years later AND to be playing Nick Bottom is a real thrill.”

Milly Zero said: “I can’t wait to get on stage at The Gatehouse, with such a wonderful cast and team. Hermia is a wonderfully fiesty, defiant and exciting character and I feel very lucky to get the chance to take her on!’’

The production is directed by Sean Turner, with choreography by Chris Whittaker, lighting by Barry Smith, music composition by Stamatis Seraphim, costumes by Jida Akil and set design by Anna Phillips.
