What is it?

the faction theatre co. bring to life the majesty of Shakespeare’s most popular comedy.  Using their trademark visual inventiveness, sparse costumes and props, the company encourages the audience’s imaginations to run wild with an army of Hakka-ing fairies at war over a beautiful Indian Boy, a quartet of rival lovers in the slapstick tradition, and an amateur actor transformed with an ass’s head made entirely of hands and arms.
