Sweeping into Te Papaioea this summer, A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be a theatrical evening you won’t soon forget.
14 young creatives band together to create a fiery (and fairy) ensemble in Shakespeare’s fluid comedic romp- transformations and jealousies; feuds and fantasies!
The production, spearheaded by budding young theatre company Shakespeare’s North Productions, is an opportunity to provide a springboard for young people to explore and experience the ins and outs of putting a show together. Under expert guidance and a fair bit of experimentation, this one is set to be an uproarious midsummer night indeed!
Their eclectic ensemble is made up of young rangatahi from in and around Palmerston North. Hailing from four different schools, aged between 14 and 19, and with varying degrees of experience in the performing arts, these young people are brimming with ingenuity.
To what depths does your jealousy fester? What would you do in the face of a torn world of natural disaster and the pangs of dispriz’d love… A Midsummer Night’s Dream promises a night of distortion and transformation to those who just can’t close their eyes - As young lovers bicker and quarrel, ancient kingdoms fall into disarray, and natural (and wholly unnatural) events to and fro.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as presented by Shakespeare’s North Productions, is a production focused on building on and providing opportunities to young people. A springboard, if you will, for further skills, and knowledge applicable in all walks of life. From producing to directing to set design and beyond, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a truly collaborative effort, as students are mentored and upskilled by industry professionals in their chosen elements of the theatrical production.
With trademark audience interaction, unique design choices, and a focus on bringing Shakespeare’s ecstatic text to Manawatū audiences, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is not a production you want to sleep through!
