MSND FEST
Adapted by Anna Cohen based on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' by Shakespeare
Directed by Anna
Original Composition pieces by Marcus Scroop and Patrick Williams
Musical direction by Marcus Scroop
Choreography by Anna Cohen
A creative and original piece that saw 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' re-imagined within a Music Festival setting in the year 2000. The Lovers were a Steps-style pop group, the Athenian court were music industry moguls, the Mechanicals were the festival teach team and Titinia and Oberon were singing stars with the fairies as a backing band. Shakespeare's original dialogue was supplemented with turn-of-the-millenium chart hits to produce a thoroughly entertaining production.

NODA review highlights
Ensemble entrances and exits to the main performance space were executed efficiently. They were
also actively involved in setting and striking the scenes in tandem with the stage management
team.A broad selection of the main outfits for the production were hired however, additional items were
supplied by some society members to enhance the aesthetic. The sets, a clever design, worked effectively within the main performance space and were painted to a high standard. A large company for this swashbuckling adventure which was very well received by the audience. This was truly a community effort from everyone involved - no matter what age. You should all be very proud of yourselves.
