| | The Dreaming |
 | | At the year's end, THE DREAMING, a musical adaptation of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' by composer Howard Goodall and lyricist Charles Hart, proved to be the year's best new British musical by a mile at the Royal Opera House's Linbury Studio. |
 | | FOR its 25th anniversary season, Jeremy James Taylor's admirable National Youth Music Theatre has commissioned Howard Goodall - composer of the immortal Black Adder theme tune as well as several more substantial theatrical pieces - and Phantom of the Opera's lyricist Charles Hart for a re-writing of A Midsummer Night's Dream. |
 | | We are constantly bombarded by American musicals, so it makes a refreshing change to come across this totally English transposition of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Linbury Studio, with music by Howard Goodall and book and lyrics by Charles Hart. |
