On Sunday 15 December, producers Paul Leverenz and Taimus Werner-Gibbings caught up with the case of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Cast members bolded below took part in this interview and we were also joined by Laine Hart, one of our acting mentors.

First	Last	Role	Mechanicals

We discussed the origin of the shows, funding, the pre-rehearsal period series of workshops and the overall storylines of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

(Lakespeare & Co. as part of its production model engage the cast in a seriers of technique workshops before they even engage with the script. In these workshops they learn how to analyse Shakespeare’s text and deliver his verse. )

This is early days in the production process and we look forward to checking in with the cast again with rehearsals under their belt. Stay tuned!

This podcast was recorded at Communities at Work.
