I really liked the idea of including the music because it gives it sort of an ambience and it gives us a world in a way that costumes and lights and stuff can't. |
In a low-budget, amateur production of one of the most popular and performed plays of all times ... if you're not going to do something different with it, you're not going to do it justice. We're going for a very big, stylized, in-your-face style just to see what people think about it. We're trying to show people a Midsummer they've never seen before. |
We're not trying to a make a statement on sexual politics. It would be easy to do that in this play, but it's not what we're going for. Every character in this play is pretty much a caricature. |
