A Midsummer Night's Dream

by William Shakespeare

"What fools these mortals be!"  

 

 

 

 

Marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, MSD performs his most popular comedy. ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ captures a single night where unearthly forces toy with love and its many complications. Let yourself be whisked away to the most magical of forests and meet the warring King and Queen and their playful fairies, star-crossed lovers, and a bunch of amateur actors. This production has live music and a strong televisual element.

 

Directed and Choreographed by Rhona Mitchell         Musical Director Ashley Forbes

 

RARA Theatre Company presents Joanne by Deborah Bruce, Theresa Ikoko, Laura Lomas, Chino Odimba and Ursula Rani Sarma

 

 

 

 

Five characters share a common thread: Joanne. But it’s not about her. It’s about Stella, whose tomorrow is as far away from winter as summer. It’s the way Grace finds her song on the footpath between two cars. It’s about Alice’s MBA wasted on plugging holes, Kath’s patients crawling alongside her after the night shift, and it’s Becky caught in the crosshairs of what’s best and what’s right for her students. But what about Joanne?

This is an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
