Welcome to the Sheffield Theatres' web resource for A Midsummer Night's Dream.

PRODUCTION
This section of the resource is focused on the creation of our production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, which will be performed on the Crucible Stage from Wednesday 24 September until Saturday 1 November 2003.

The information has been gathered throughout the period that the production has been created, so you will be able to read about early creative ideas and see how they have progressed.

We concentrate on one scene ( Act 2, scene 1) of the play in detail so that you can read about developments through rehearsals, look at the creation of costumes, lighting and music for the production.
