From Hannah: It was beyond joyful to return to work with Montford Park Players, one of the longest running outdoor Shakespearian theaters, to direct this production. My original concept for the show developed from the idea: How could we communicate emotions if we were unable to touch each other? The result was a celebration of colorful powder, glittering curtains, original and well-known favorite tunes, and a good amount of exaggerated movement. Everything about this process was a celebration. I asked the actors and designers what they wanted to see on stage, and then I made it happen. With a show as well-known and interpreted as Midsummer, it was the perfect opportunity for me not only to add something new to the story, but to justify each actor's joy into the final production.
