A Midsummer Night’s Dream
William Shakespeare’s classic tale get’s a modern shake up. Working in close partnership with K11 Musea, we have reworked A Midsummer Night’s Dream to blend seamlessly with the vibrant K11 environment.
Watch as the lovers, Hermia, Helena, Lysander and Demetrius lose themselves in the dizzying confusion of love as the trickster Puck, spins a fine web of whimsey and excitement.
With live music, and some of the best actors and musicians Hong Kong has to offer, the cast set out to play with the audience rather than for them, invoking the age old Shakespearean theatrical traditions in a very modern setting.
LYSANDER:
Why should you think that I should woo in scorn?HELENA:
These vows are Hermia’s. Will you give her o’er?DEMETRIUS:
O Helen, goddess, nymph, perfect, devine! To what, my love, shall I compare thine eyne?HELENA:
O spite! O hell I see you all are bent To set against me for your merriment.FUN FACT:
All the music used in this production is original and composed by our very own Owen Liggett.
