About this event
Shakespeare’s hilarious and fantastical comedy …
…..is up-cycled and re-wired for the environmental generation.
Our unsuspecting mortals, camped at an environmental protest, are unaware of the fairies lurking in the woods, ready as ever to unleash magic and mayhem upon any human who dares to venture into the mystical wood. Join Oberon, TItania, and the ever-playful Puck as we weave our way through this tale of tangled lovers, warring fairies, and hapless human beings.
By highlighting climate change using Shakespeare’s timeless imagery, we hope to connect young people to his work using an issue that resonates with them. The famous Titania speech about the environment falling apart as a result of squabbling will be set up as the overarching theme. Sets and costumes made out of waste material highlight the issues in the piece and initiate a greener approach to productions. Part of the audience interaction before the show will focus on upcycling/recycling to illustrate kinder ways of using our world’s resources. One of the eco-warriors will be live-streaming during the show and engaging on social media, as any young person would do when something momentous happens.
Using Shakespeare’s timeless imagery, we emphasise the importance of the environment and using our earth’s resources wisely. The costumes and sets will all be made from recycled materials, and we hope our audiences will get into the spirit and bring along some upcycling ideas of their own.
