Time Out says

Melbourne-based Sevenfold Theatre Company Inc was recently recognised at the 41st Green Room Awards for 2023’s Blue to the Horizon. The production, which chronicles the outbreak of World War Three, won Best New Australian Musical Theatre Writing.

Now, Sevenfold has changed tack to focus on one of Shakespeare’s classics: A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Director Mitchell Wills has a fresh, bohemian-inspired take on the romance laden tale, which follows young lovers who escape to a magical forest where fairies meddle with their affections. Expect mistaken identities, love potions and all kinds of chaos. 

The cast will create a live score using instruments, voices and their own bodies, adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the Athenian forest setting. This production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream plays at Footscray’s Bluestone Church Arts Space from July 16-20. Find out more and grab tickets at the website
