THE DREAM
A Teenage Rom-Com - Shakespeare Style!
On a hot Saturday morning on the grounds of St Athenian’s High School, rehearsals are underway for a Shakespearean Gala – ‘Scenes from A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.
The boundaries between fantasy and reality blur when the actors' lives start to parallel those of their namesake characters as they are swept up in a tale that is more than 400 years old - How can Helena rewrite her story?
