THE much anticipated production of The Mountbatten School’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ by William Shakespeare continues it's run tonight with two further performances tomorrow.

With two full casts, this spell-binding production is the culmination of weeks of rehearsals and students are thoroughly enjoying the experience.

Year 10 student, Emily Daniels said:"Being a part of this production is my main enjoyment. Not only is it an amazing experience, it will also give us good life skills. We are so grateful to have such an amazing director helping us to achieve such great things."

Keiran Bijur, Year 8- playing Flute, added: “Being in ‘A midsummer night’s dream’ has been so good. For me, I love how we can speak in Shakespearian English- this is one of the highlights for me in performing in the show. I also love the vibrant costumes; they are all so diverse as well as artistic. They brighten up the show. I love the show in all aspects including the humorous characterization of the characters.”

Millie Hodge-Moat, Year 10 playing Hermia also commented: “This year’s production has been so fun; I’ve made new friends and have learnt Shakespearian language. The people I have been working with are amazing and I already have many funny memories.”

Will Bethel, Year 10 playing Demetrius said: “I have enjoyed doing the production as I have found it very fun and love all of the scenes I am in. I have found learning lines quite difficult but I will get there in the end. It has taught me lots of new skills and this is my first and last production I can do and I feel it will be a very good. one.”

Erin O’Connor, Year 7 playing a Fairy added: “I like that Miss doesn’t tell us exactly what to do, obviously she needs to tell us what to do but sometimes we get to do a bit of fairy freestyle. She’s a really good teacher”
