Jazz Hands Productions
A Midsummer Night's Dream - Radio Play
Fundraising for Mind
Story
Jazz Hands Productions is a student theatre production company, putting together a radio play of the enchanting Shakespearean comedy of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, in support of Mind! The radio play will be available to listen to for free and it would mean the world to us if you would consider making a donation to Mind.
Mind is a charity that provides support to anyone experiencing a mental health problem, by raising awareness, improving services and promoting understanding. Our radio play originated as a way for us keep theatre alive during the Covid crisis and to spend our lockdown time productively, doing what we love. While the current situation has had a negative impact on both the theatre industry and our extracurricular activities, it had a much worse impact on mental health and wellbeing. Mind has positively influenced the lives of many of our team and cast, so we decided to dedicate this radio play to Mind and raise funds in support of mental health.
__________________________
Escape the confines of lockdown for an hour or two and enter a world of magic and mischief. From the court of Theseus to enchanted woodlands, follow the story of our heroes as they escape Athens in pursuit of true love, just to get caught in a complex love triangle (rectangle?) at the hands of mischievous fairies. Will they reach their happily ever after? And how exactly does the donkey come into it?
We will be post the radio play online on Saturday, June 13th at 7.30pm, on all major podcast platforms. We will also link it to this page and to our Facebook event, where you can also find out more about the project: https://www.facebook.com/events/525085524825748/?active_tab=about
