A Midsummer Night’s Dream

On the 23rd April at 11am, CBeebies will air their adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which was performed and filmed in Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre. It looks to celebrate the 400^th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death and aims to
introduce young children into the exciting world of Shakespeare.

The crew was bursting with CBeebies cast members such as; Mr Tumble, Mr Cook as well as Line from Swashbuckle, and Chris and Pui from Show Me Show Me. Other cast members included presenters Andy Day and Cat Sandion along with  Nicholas Burns from Benidorm and Josette Simon OBE.

Yet for one local girl, Evie Verity Clark, a year 3 pupil at Merchant Taylors’ Infant School, the adventure went one step further, when she had the opportunity not only to meet the cast, but to also preform alongside them. Evie herself plays ‘Peaseblossom’, one of the fairies, as well as playing another smaller role as a page. Evie worked hard throughout the long and exciting day, and thoroughly enjoyed herself.

The full preview can be seen on the CBeebies Player, or by going to the CBeebies website.
