Green 1969 fund for British Art and Culture University of New Haven WSHU Public Radio Group About A Time to Dream In many ways, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the archetypal love story, relevant in any age. A story of the folly and joy of falling in love. On top of that, it’s a play profoundly about the imagination, perfect to explore the nature of the relationship between actors (and puppets!) on a stage, and an audience in an auditorium. Which is where we begin with our …Dream world. A world where reality blurs with the mystic, a world where fairies – powerful, magical, mischievous and dangerous – are a reality; an ever- changing world of puppets, lots of puppets, and people who fancy each other so wildly they can barely keep their clothes on. Handspring Puppet Company – a Bristol Old Vic Associate Company of international repute – are the most accomplished, magical creators of puppet theatre in the world. We hope you enjoy these extraordinary artists applying their breath-taking skill to perhaps the classic play of the imagination.
