Story
Now in its eighth year, our ambitious Winter collaboration with Scottish Opera continues with a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Benjamin Britten’s birth with a revival of Olivia Fuchs’ 2005 production for the Royal Opera House of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Adapted from the Shakespeare play in collaboration with Peter Pears, Britten’s version is centred on the ethereal world of the fairies rather than the human action at the heart of the original.

Automation
As part of the set up for A Midsummer Nights Dream a performer had to fly in what was called the 'bower box'. To achieve this effect we used a Stage Tech system similar to the one we use in the New Athenaeum Theatre.
The system was made up of the following equipment;
- Illusonist Control Desk
- Au-Tour Rack
- UPS
- Big Tow Winch (modified with 2 points)
- Truss
- Various Drifts
- Swifter Lines (tention lines)
Below is a diagram of how the system looked and how it was cabled up.
