MIdsummer's Night Dream

from aoife and muireann | Feb 26, 2010 aoife and muireann

I first heard about this play - MIdsummer's Night Dream - when i was 8 or maybe 9. I was reading the book Ballet Shoes and the three girls in the story were cast in different roles in the play. 

I remember one of the girls, Petrova - the worst dancer and the one who HATED acting - had the easiest part. Puck.  But she kept forgetting the few lines she had.  What i remember most was the fairies got to fly through the theatre on wire ropes.  I wonder will they fairies fly today?

 

I keep wondering what the fairies will look like today. here are some images i found from other versions of the play - images of Puck.  He looks quite scarey in some of them.  It must be fun to be a costume designer....

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”
