The Independent and Independent on Sunday have teamed up with Twentieth Century Fox to give away 10,000 cinema tickets to an exclusive preview screening of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream on Sunday 19 September.

This month sees the release of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream with a cast including Rupert Everett, Kevin Kline, Michelle Pfeiffer and Calista Flockhart. The film is released on September 24 and is set in Tuscany at the end of the 19th Century.

The story begins when Hermia and Lysander flee deep into the forest to escape Hermia's father, Egeus, who wishes Hermia to marry Demetrius. Demetrius goes in pursuit of his true love, Hermia, and is soon followed by yet another desperate lover: Helena, who adores Demetrius but finds her affections dreadfully unrequited. The foursome find themselves near the secret home of the fairies, where water nymphs and satyrs party into the night at the fairy bars and cafes. Chaos ensues when the fairy trickster, Puck, administers a secret love potion - causing the lovers to mix and match with outrageous results. Meanwhile, a band of actors gather in the same woods to rehearse a play - a play that is interrupted when its star actor, Bottom, becomes a strange pawn in the love battles between Oberon, King of the fairies, and Titania, his Queen.
