At the webpage of The National Theatre the following, among other things, is written about A Dream Play:

"The protagonist Agnes, played by Mariann Hole, is a young girl with chronic anxiety. It is her mind that Bieito sets out to examine through a series of monumental installations on stage. For the stage design of the mind knows no limits. You will meet beautiful dreams and cruel horror. From dark night to bright Scandinavian summer nights, from fire to water, past to present, from sorrow to joy.

In close cooperation with his German team, set designer Rebecca Ringst, costume designer Ingo Krügler and dramaturg Bettina Auer, Bieito has madem A Dream Play into a visual, textual and musical poem. Bieito visited The National Theatre for the first time in 2006, with a Spanish production of Peer Gynt. He made a deep impression (at Norwegian audiences) at The National Theatre and at Bergen International Festival in 2008 with a controversial interpretation of Ibsen's Brand

This time, Bieito will take us on a journey where we risk discovering aspects of ourselves and of the human mind that we might like to avoid. The Spanish director aims to transport the audience members out of their comfort zones."

The production is one of The National Theatre's own productions performed during The Ibsen Festival 2014.
