A production of A Midsummer Night's Dream you might find interesting

Wollongong Workshop Theatre, the lovely folks who've put on a couple of my short plays, is working with Altogether Drama, a group for actors with a disability, to put on a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream here in Wollongong. This production has a number of really intriguing aspects: the cast is mixed: actors with and without disabilities in lead roles, chorus roles, comic roles. The script has been adapted to reflect a distinctly Australian feel; the set design as well suggests Australia. And there is original music by composer Houston Dunleavy.

My buddy Lajos is directing the production, and he's begun a blog about the process. If you're interested in local theatre, access to the arts, disability issues, government-supported arts, and/or Shakespeare, why not follow the fortunes of this daring troupe?
