Cast Announced For Scoot Theatre's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' Outdoor Tour
The cast for newly formed Scoot Theatre’s family-friendly, outdoor tour of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ has been announced, with Claire playing characters Hermia and Snug in the actor-musician cast of six. Touring cricket grounds, the sixty minute, socially-distanced version of the Shakespeare comedy is one of the first live productions to tour in light of the recent pandemic.
Made up of West End, National Theatre and RSC alumni, the rest of the cast are AARON SIDWELL (Eastenders, Wicked UK Tour and Loserville: The Musical in the West End). SALLY CHENG (Twelfth Night and A Christmas Carol with the Royal Shakespeare Company), TRICIA ADELE-TURNER (Dear Evan Hansen, We Will Rock You, Legally Blonde - all West End), JOSEPH PROWEN (Twelfth Night at the RSC, Teddy at the Southwark Playhouse and An Ideal Husband at Chichester) and MAX HUTCHINSON (The Woman In Black & One Man, Two Guvnors in the West End). The show is directed by Joseph O’Malley (The 39 Steps, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Ben Hur – The Barn Theatre)
The production tours in August and September, starting in the Surrey area, visiting Worplesdon, East Molesey, Shepperton, Esher and Walton-on-Thames. It then heads to The Barn Theatre in Cirencester for the Bank Holiday weekend, to take part in their recently announced outdoor festival BarnFest.
