A Midsummer Night’s Dream - Indian style
10/10/2007
Tim Supple’s much anticipated and highly acclaimed Indian production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is coming to the Lowry at the end of this month.
Created in India with performers and creative team from India and Sri Lanka, this production is the culmination of a project that began in Autumn 2004.
The British Council in India and Sri Lanka commissioned Tim Supple to create and direct a theatre production to tour the nation’s major cities.
A cast of 23 dancers, musicians, actors and performers from a diverse range of locations and backgrounds came together for a seven week rehearsal process to create a production which is performed in English, Tamil, Malayalam, Sinhalese, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi and even a little Sanskrit.
The result is a passionate, energetic, thrilling and beautiful re-interpretation of the play, which casts aside familiar traditions of performing Shakespeare and replaces them with an epic, visceral and emotional power. This visual spectacle, featuring traditional live Indian music promises to be an unforgettable evening of theatre like no other.
This stunning ‘Dream’ knocked audiences and critics for six when it was performed in outdoor arenas in India, at the Verona Festival and at a sensational sell-out run in June 2006 as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Complete Works Festival in Stratford upon Avon. Now audiences in the North West can experience this breathtaking production prior to a world tour.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be runnign at the Lowry between 30 Oct – 3 Nov. Box Office: 0870 787 5793 and www.thelowry.com for more information.
