Everett Quinton
A Midsummer Night's Dream
by Carl Heap, William Shakespeare
Highlights
Synopsis
"...in the night, imagining some fear, How easy is a bush supposed a bear!"
With all the dark undercurrents of the traditional fairytale, Shakespeare weaves farce, slapstick, romance and revelry to create what is perhaps his most joyous play.
Primary Classics, produced by the National Theatre's Discover programme, aims to introduce children aged 7 to 11 to Shakespeare.
This version of A Midsummer Night's Dream, adapted and originally directed by Carl Heap, preserves the core of Shakespeare's plot, retains the original langauge, yet is presented very much with the target age group in mind.
Carl Heap's introduction will help readers, teachers and practitioners alike to imagine or produce their own version.
