| Midsummer is a series of encounters between an odd assortment of citizens from Athens and the mystical beings that live in the wood outside the town. It is a dance, a fight, a love-making and a wallow between the order of Society and the order of Nature. When they part, they have both been reshaped by forces of order and chaos. Oh... and this play is also extremely funny. This first production by HSF was set in a modern junk yard, with musical underscoring by Nirvana, The Replacements, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The fairies took the form of early Nineties counter-culture archetypes such as Bikers, Dead Heads, Goths and Grunge Slackers. Heavily influenced by the Sandman stories of Neil Gaiman and given the creative restrictions of non-existent funding, this production seemed "willed" into being. There was much desperate creativity here, setting a high standard for the future. |
