| S4K's Dream: Dorking Preview |
|
FROM THE SURREY MIRROR - 23 September 2010 FANTASTICAL FUN
The Bard’s comedy gets a magical transformation from Shakespeare 4 Kidz, whose musical version has proved a huge hit every time it has toured. Who can resist the fabulous story of a Duke marrying his Amazonian queen, two sets of lovers who elope into the woods where the audience finds feuding fairies and a naughty sprite called Puck, whose mismanaged magic causes no end of hilarity? Bottom (surely the best name for a comedy character ever!) is one of theatre’s funniest roles. Audiences are guaranteed a great laugh when Puck’s prank puts an asses head onto him and fairy queen Titania wakes up and promptly falls in love with him. The Dream is one of six S4K titles, following on from the 2009/10 national and international hit tour of Macbeth. Every S4K show uses the whole Shakespearean plot but uses only the most famous original lines and slots them into modern language so that everyone – even the youngest primary school children – can understand. Every S4K show uses the whole Shakespearean plot but uses only the most famous original lines and slots them into modern language so that everyone – even the youngest primary school children – can understand. Adults in the audience who have previously been baffled by the Bard will find that they can at last understand what it is all about!
This child friendly version of the play visits the Dorking Halls in October
