FAIRIES and fun, royalty and romance, magic and misunderstandings ... A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM (pictured) has them all and more.

Shakespeare’s comedy gets a magical transformation from Shakespeare 4 Kidz at Middlesbrough Theatre next week.

The group’s musical version of the play has proved a huge hit every time it has toured and will be in town for eight child-friendly shows starting on Tuesday.

The production is one of six S4K titles, following on from the 2009/10 national and international hit tour of Macbeth.

Every S4K show uses the whole Shakespearean plot but uses only the most famous original lines and slots them into modern language so that everyone - even the youngest primary school children - can understand.

Adults in the audience who have previously been baffled by the Bard will also find that they can at last understand what it is all about.

There are also songs, dances and lots of spellbinding effects as the fairies create a world of wonder in the woods.

What they say about us:

S4K MACBETH: "One thing is certain: the children in that audience - and, of course, in all the other audiences S4K play to - will not be scared of Shakespeare or regard it with almost traditional suspicion but will have a memory of a gripping play whcih they enjoyed. And that can only be a good thing!"
