Amphibian Stage Productions to Screen Julie Taymor's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, 8/12-13
Amphibian Stage Productions (Kathleen Culebro, Artistic Director) will show a film of Theatre for a New Audience's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, directed by Julie Taymor, on Wednesday August 12 & Thursday August 13 at 7pm in partnership with the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. This programming is not affiliated with Amphibian's National Theatre Live series. Running time is 148 minutes.
Of all Shakespeare's plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream is the most phantasmagorical, with fairies, spells and hallucinatory lovers. Julie Taymor turns out a production that's visually breathtaking, funny, sexy, and darkly poetic. With cinematography by Rodrigo Prieto (Argo, Frida) and music by Academy Award-winning composer Elliot Goldenthal, this immersive, inventive cinematic experience was filmed last autumn during Taymor's highly acclaimed inaugural stage production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The feats of visual imagination are ingenious and plentiful, but beating at the centre of the film is an emotionally moving take on the deeper human aspects of this beloved tale.
A Midsummer Night's Dream will screen on Wednesday, August 12 and Thursday, August 13 at 7pm at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Tickets are general admission and are $18. Members of Amphibian Stage Productions and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth will be offered $15 tickets.
