This production is a stripped-down version of Midsummer, performed on a bare stage with minimal props and costumes. The cast of six performs all the major roles, exploring the thematic and playful potential of doubling actors as fairies, lovers, royals, and mechanicals. This is a very physical, athletic production — as the text often demands — and the creative staging transforms a blank space from Athens to the woods to the fairy kingdom and back again. To highlight the madness/mess of the play, the production explores a variety of food-stuff: the Athenian wood is filled with mashed potatoes, marshmallow goop, pasta and more... There are childish undertones to the food-play as well as a bit of kink, tip-toeing that fine intersection of sexiness and silliness.
