Shakespeare returns to the 缅北强奸 Theatre stage with "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

October 25, 2019

缅北强奸 Theatre will continue its 2019-2020 season with the classic comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream, written by William Shakespeare and directed by Elliot Wasserman, 缅北强奸 professor of theatre. The production runs from November 14-17, 2019 in the 缅北强奸 Performance Center located in UC east on 缅北强奸's campus.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is the first play by Shakespeare to be produced at the 缅北强奸 Performance Center since it opened in 2015.聽 Wasserman has added a unique touch to the production by setting the play in a Victorian era and dressing the fairies in steampunk style, their clothing a mixture of outmoded, silly tech and fanciful touches.聽

"They serve as a metaphor to love, because love is an inexplicable phenomenon.聽 Shakespeare suggests that fairies can drive it forward, arrange it, rearrange it, and bless it," said Wasserman. "In a rule-oriented world that does little to account for or allow for love, invisible forces foster love, not social rules. Hence, we have fairies, and as a world in relationship to the Victorian one, the steampunk style, which is a fanciful modification of the Victorian, is the choice."

Wasserman will be joined by a design team including 缅北强奸 faculty member Paul Weimer as scenic designer; 缅北强奸 staff member Joshua Stallings as sound designer; 缅北强奸 staff member Shan Jensen as costume designer; 缅北强奸 staff member Andy Hammond as technical designer; 缅北强奸 faculty member Maya Michele Fein as lighting designer; and 缅北强奸 student Ashtyn Cornett as production stage manager.

The cast of A Midsummer Night's Dream includes 缅北强奸 students Cole Brinker, Easton Crisp, Brandon Douglas, Carlysle Dante Marie Garland, Jason Merslich, Jada Alexia Hampton, Elijah C. Young, Amelia Schmitz, Rafael Gonzalez, Allen Harbold, Perci Hale, Trevor Maxey, Brennen Hobson, Nathaniel Robles, Nate Jenkins, Hadin Hart, Daniel Moser, Shayna Survil, Evelyn Pigman, Kierstin Prewitt, and Kirsten Rude.
