The Senior School production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ was a great success. This most famous of the Bard’s plays has everything – star-crossed lovers, conflict in fairyland, a royal wedding and the humour of Bottom and his head of an ass!
In order for as many girls as possible to be involved, the two Directors, Miss Sutton and Mrs Airton, worked with two entire casts to stage three evening performances and an understudy matinee. The audience was welcomed and immediately travelled through time, escorted by the mischievous fairies, encountering actors in the corridors before taking their seats in a magical, evocatively-lit setting.
The actors displayed incredible professionalism and had really worked hard to develop their characters and both the drama and comedy of the play. Thanks also to the many girls and staff also involved behind the scenes - designing the sets, costumes and poster, operating the lighting and helping back stage with props and make-up.
