Join the team (Nicholas Koy Santillo, Ariana Karp, Jane May, Tedra Millan, and Brittany Chandler) as we go into our discussion of the first act of Midsummer Night's Dream.

In this act we talk about the two scenes that make up this first act; the first scene which introduces the lovers and is written in verse. In the second scene we get to meet one of the greatest comedic characters; Bottom.

We also spend some time discussing how to stage a show set in Ancient Greece; discussing the use of anachronism in theatre and the cultural and historical 'other'.

Slight historical correction on Ariana's behalf-the theatre censor in England wasn't actually abolished until 1968, another momentous and tumultuous historical year! The abolishment was called, rather tritely, The Theatre Act of 1968.
