After the success of The Seagull, I was excited to bring back A Midsummer Night’s Dream from 2018 as our next big Camphill-partnered production.
And after doing five dramas/tragedies in a row, I was quite keen to get ‘silly’ with it.
While we decided to keep with the same adaptation of the script, the approach is very different. This time, I am doing the show from Puck’s perspective. This allows the humans to be more exaggerated, for instance. The results so far have been that this Midsummer is on its way to being the silliest and funniest production I have ever done - while also staying true to the script.
We are in rehearsals now, and tickets are on sale, so we hope to see you there!
