The Chain Theatre Presents THE DREAMING

By:

British Theatre Director Jordan Murphy has teamed up with American Choreographer, Mariel Letourneau and Musical Director, Marcus Baker to bring a stunning piece of musical theatre to The Chain Theatre in Long Island City. The Dreaming, based on A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, was commissioned and premièred by the National Youth Music Theatre (NYMT).

Composed by Howard Goodall, with lyrics and book by Charles Hart, it was first performed in England at the Northcott Theatre, Exeter in August 2001. Unseen eyes gaze on from tree and bracken - the woodlanders, vagabond children, spirits of the forest wait for the right time to cause havoc and mischief. Lost lovers roam, a quartet of bewildered wanderers, mismatched and confused. How can the mysterious boy with the beguiling gaze serve these four...

British musical theatre is thriving at the moment, and our team's mission is to create professional, unique shows that are exciting, imaginative, and accessible to theatre lovers in America. The Dreaming team is excited to show the people of New York the incredible music and fascinating storyline which will evoke all kinds of emotions.
