Take a dive into a magical, mystical re-imagining of Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ with Sacred Heart College in Kyneton, showing over three performances from Thursday, September 1 to Saturday, September 3.
The school’s Mary Moloney Theatre has been transformed for ‘The Dream’, a hybrid production with students working in the show in drama classes after school involving students both on stage and behind the scenes.
“One of the exciting things about staging Shakespeare, is taking a play that was written 500 years ago and making it somehow ‘fresh’ for a modern audience,” play director Ben Gallagher said.
Gearing up for the production, a group of more than 50 students and staff were hard at work during the term, figuring out how best to present the show in a short period of time.
Years nine and 11 drama classes were essential to the process, with students taking on the bulk of the character parts and spending class time developing their interpretation of Shakespeare.
Students from years seven to 10 are also involved as characters, dancers and musicians.
