Following David Williamson's INFLUENCE which recently completed its successful season, The Theatre Guild is pleased to announce details of its next production, Shakespeare's best loved comedy, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM which will open in the Little Theatre On Saturday 7 August at 7.30pm.This production was specifically programmed to provide opportunities for Adelaide's student community and the Guild is thrilled to announce that the cast will include 17 University of Adelaide students, 2 Flinders University students with the production team comprising current students and graduates of the Adelaide College of the Arts.
Director and well known Adelaide Designer Cassandra Backler has designed sets, costumes and lighting for a range of companies over the past fourteen years and this production marks her directing debut with the Guild. Ms Backler, a current Theatre Guild Board of Management Member, said "I'm delighted to be working with such an energetic and vibrant group of young people to bring this classic comedy to the stage. Like many people it is the first Shakespeare play I was introduced to at school and it will hold a special place in my heart forever. We may open in midwinter, but this production is raising everyone's temperature; one of our cast has already described his rehearsals as 'sexy and raunchy' and we're only just warming up!"
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM will provide a magical evening of adventure and amusement full of love, jealousy, and of course dreams!
