A Midsummer Night's Dream by Steel Valley Beacon

November 2006 was the week when Shakespeare came to Stocksbridge

This production, which featured quite a number of our parishioners, started its tour in the Stocksbridge Valley before moving to York and Sheffield. You can see some photos of the cast in final rehearsals below .

We have tried to bring Shakespeare to life by performers living and working in a community with very little experience of Shakespeare.

We have found the comedy, themes, attitudes and story as fresh for us today as it was over four hundred years ago. Our world has strong parallels with Shakespeare’s world, but Shakespeare also gives us a wonderful language through which to tell our story.

Tune in. Enjoy the sound, the action and the sheer energy bursting from these amazing characters.
