Overview
To save their forbidden love, a girl and a boy elope and get lost in an enchanted forest. Pursued by jealous friends and hateful enemies, they encounter some belligerent fairies who throw their plans into chaos. The realms of reality and dreams blur as the supernatural seduces the unremarkable.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a story of illusion, mischief and transformation, celebrating the creative and often destructive power of love. It remains one of Shakespeare’s best-loved plays, popular for its feast of magic, madness and humour.
This is the BA Acting Year 2 Production from 2019.

Stage Management
This wasn't a props heavy show, but there were lots of makes and a couple buys, this kept everyone busy. Most of the items were borrowed from the props store and NTS.
Technical Stage Management
The most complex element of this show were the 5 'Trees' made from hemp lines with books attached and pea lights the full length. These 'Trees' were also to fly out during the action.

All 5 trees were done on separate lines and in total required a 3 operators to ensure smooth running.
Beyond this the set contained a bank of cloths next to each tree which were hung from the catwalks.
For this show we also had to create a snowdrop which initially seemed difficult but for the entire section where it was to be snowing I used a total of 1.5 handfuls of snow.
Lighting
An exciting feature for the electrics team on this run was using Pea-Lights to compliment the hung "trees", as pictured in the above section. Otherwise, we had a very pleasant run encountering minimal issues along the way- a joy for all.
