A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
music by Benjamin Britten
Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Glasgow
26, 28, 30 June, 2 July 2004
director: Cathie Boyd
set, film and costume designer: Pippa Nissen
lighting designers: Colin Bell and Cathie Boyd
musical director: Tim Dean
choreographer: Kally Lloyd-Jones
There are three suspended screens across the stage; two are back projected onto plastic forming the background to the action and the larger screen is gauze at the front of the stage. Light boxes - both in the sky and on the ground - change colour throughout the piece as banks of landscape and the edges of architecture.
The electronic elements of the set and sound depict the magic within the libretto. For example when Bottom’s head get’s changed by Puck to an ass, it is shown on the monitor; and Puck at times only appears on the monitor and his voice is amplified to another place in the theatre.
