B B B B Bard! Bard to the Bone.

Midsummer Night’s Dream is now cast and we are well into rehearsals for what is sure to be a very exciting production of Shakespeare’s classic. The 70s inspire show will see singer/ songwriter fairies, northern soul lovers and as for the Mechanicals….well some things should be a surprise!

The cast are are eclectic mix from amateur groups through the area, young and old, experienced and giving it a go for the first time and are all slightly shaking in there platform boots, wondering if they let alone the audience will understand what they are actually talking about! If the first few rehearsals are anything to go by, I am sure that they will be brilliant.

Costumes are being sought, caesuras are being discovered and laughter ripples through the rehearsal room.

‘I’m the reflection of the community’ Tupac Shakur once said. Well Physical Folk’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be a reflection of this community.
