CANCELLED - A DREAME
Shakespeare meets Madonna (via Blackpink)
Once a week Harriet’s dad comes round to read her a bedtime story. Tonight, it’s 'Midsummer Night's Dream'.
Upset by events in the play, Harriet falls asleep and into the world of the 'Dream'. In the chaos of the stormy wood, all her fears come out - will her mum and dad stop arguing, will the boy she likes like her, will her best friend betray her, will she become the singer she dreams of being, and what's with this crazy weather?
A cast of two, with dad playing many roles, tell an old story with a modern twist in a fun-filled 50 minutes.
From the writer and producers of 'The Selfish Gene the Musical' at Edinburgh.
