  • Summary

  • Artist, author, and illustrator Gary Andrews (Finding Joy, Drawing on Shakespeare, Daisy the Littlest Zombie) is directing A Midsummer Night's Dream for the fifth time and making brand new discoveries in this most popular of Shakespeare's comedies. Gary reveals the Victorian inspiration behind his current production; how he finds unexpected comedy in the scenes between Theseus and Hippolya, and draws on his Welsh heritage; the other Shakespeare plays he would love to return to, and characters he'd love to play for the first time); the danger of over-politicizing the script; the importance of navigating the play's multiple endings (more than Return of the King!); and resolving the ultimate question: Who doesn’t love a cuddly Bottom? (Length 22:47) (PICTURED: Eloise Wynn-Jones as Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed, photographed, and wearing makeup designed by Gary Andrews.)
