A version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare
Touring to Fife schools Monday 24 – Thursday 27 September 2012
If you go down to the woods tonight, you’re in for a big surprise!
The course of true love never did run smooth: a strict father and his headstrong daughter; star-crossed lovers and quarrelling fairies; mischievous imps, supernatural spells and people in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wee Stories’ re-telling of Shakespeare’s fabulous fairy-tale will be an entertaining, inventive and delightfully confusing experience for anyone aged 10+
With this slimmed-down, but not dumbed-down version of the play, we aim to inspire young people in schools with the power and the passion of the work of William Shakespeare. The piece will enrich learning by bringing professional theatre into school, inspiring children to express their own creativity, and helping them to understand how a classic text can be adapted to speak to a contemporary audience.
‘Wee Stories have earned a reputation not only as the best children’s theatre company in Scotland, but also as one of the very best companies in any genre.’ Daily Telegraph

The not-for-profit organisation TED is best known for outstanding videos called TED Talks, which disseminate new ideas on subjects such as technological developments and shifts in society. Now the organisation has launched a new education initiative TED-ED, which includes a dedicated education channel on YouTube.
This channel already includes some great video assets for Global Citizenship education, with expert teachers, communicators and animators creating videos which explain important concepts and issues. This bank of high-quality educational digital content will continue to build up, as new clips are added, and forms a valuable resource for teachers looking for a stimulating supplement to school lessons and class work.
