★★★★½
(Iris Theatre, St Paul’s Church, Covent Garden, 2 July – 6 August)
Certain plays are made to be performed outside, and the garden play par excellence is A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Completely by chance, I spotted the banner for Iris Theatre’s current production in the gardens of St Paul’s Church, Covent Garden. It sounded like a lovely way to start off the week and, since the weather promised to be fine, I roped in a colleague to come along with me.
