DREAM AWAKE

PLAYHOUSE YOUTH COMPANY FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Playhouse Friends,

‘we are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.’ • Shakespeare, .

What are the significance of dreams when you’re stuck in a room? It has been an incredibly taxing and exhausting year and a half for all, and preparing to make Dream Awake I thought a lot about the strange and unique impact on the next generation. The deferral of their lives, their growth and their dreams.

When building this show, Michaela Murphy, our Director of Education, asked me to pick a theme to centre the show around. Dreams came pretty naturally and quickly. It’s a theme that works on multiple levels: the way it felt like we were sleepwalking through the last year, the mad dreams we’ve had along the way, and also dreams of the future. I was interested in not just hearing from this group, but working with them to build an entire show around what the word ‘dream’ has meant to them during the last year. And that’s exactly what we did.

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with this exceptional group of young women. It is my first in-person production I’ve directed since the pandemic began, and I cannot have asked for better reintroduction into the theatrical world. They have worked so hard and grown so tremendously, while imbuing the rehearsal room with such creativity, curiosity, humour and joy, all of which has been so infectious.

I can’t wait to see what’s in store for them in the future. I hope you enjoy the show as much as we enjoyed .
