A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Published by Warwick School on Tuesday 13th of December 2016

Warwick School and King’s High School brought their customary creativity to their version of Shakespeare's classic comedy - A Midsummer Night's Dream last week. Athens became a modern boarding school setting led by Headmaster Theseus (George Simms) and the texting, runaway pupils (Georgie Feller, Daniel Bainbridge, Wendy Miles and Ollie Ritchie) found themselves bewitched by the 'festival reveller' fairies led by Oberon (Joe Turner) and Titania (Lily Jones). The mechanicals became school support staff, ‘cleaning and fixing’ the theatre before the show, led by Quince (Sam Young) and featuring the wonderful physical comedy of Bottom (Rory Gill) amongst many others.
