Amy Maguire Lewis
Midsummer Night's Dream
Design Assistant
My Role:
Working with Moving Stories Theatre Company in association with the Turbine Theatre London and Buxton Opera House. This production was brought to life a family-friendly, abridged version of Shakespeare’s best loved comedy. ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. Creating a charm and vibrancy for audiences in the open air theatre.
Context & Vision : "Join Titania, Oberon and Puck in the magic, mayhem and madness of their Fairy Kingdom. Watch our fated lovers navigate the trials and tribulations of ‘true love (which) never did run smooth’, and cheeky Puck who meddles with mischief. Blending music, fairy magic, a live choir, cracking actors and a double-dose of neon, get set for an exhilarating afternoon."- Moving Stories.
"Moving Stories ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ was my favourite thing all summer!” (audience member, Southbank Centre London)
