Synopsis
A behind-the-scenes look at the Royal Shakespeare Company's current production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Six of the key parts, including the famous role of Bottom, are played by amateur actors from the Black Country. They appear alongside the professional cast. This is a huge privilege for the amateurs, but a huge risk for the RSC. Narrated by Samuel West.
