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
