Unwrapped: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Royal Shakespeare Company

A person stands on stage looking up at a burst of aqua blue light. Red and yellow lanterns hang above her.

Join members of the company and creative team to unwrap the play and hear more about some of the skills that go into making a Royal Shakespeare Company production. 

Our Unwrapped demonstrations offer a peek into the rehearsal room, with the Assistant Director and members of the cast looking at moments from the play. They give an insight into how a scene is taken off the page and onto the stage, and show the type of exercises and discussion that took place during rehearsals.

This event runs alongside performances of the Royal Shakespeare Company's A Midsummer Night's Dream in the theatre. 

Running time: approximately 1 hour
