S1 to S5 School children from Firrhill, Forrester, Tynecastle, Queensferry and the Royal High School are putting their spin on a reimagining of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the King’s Theatre today.
Each school will perform one act of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy in the abridged ‘Shakedown’ shows at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
The opportunity is for students to explore and experience the play for themselves, to work together with students not from their school and to work outside of the school learning environment as the show will be developed and presented at the King’s Theatre.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be directed by Pab Roberts with Music by Gary Cameron and Lighting Design by Heather McLuskey.
