ETG 2024: A Midsummer Night's Dream – Costume Designer

13:30, Mon 9th December 2024 at Hiberniaschool, Antwerp (BEL)

One of Shakespeare’s most famous comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream tells the whirlwind story of expectations and dreams and getting lost in the in-between. This chaotic tale unfolds in the magical midnight world of the Athenian forest where the air is pierced with jealousy, unrequited love, and delicious confusion. As they enter the forest, the Athenians are caught in Titania and Oberon’s quarrel over a child, both fairies desperate to follow their dreams of motherhood. Determined and yet disoriented, the humans are left to grapple with new identities and unexpected declarations of love.

Founded in 1957 by a group of students including Derek Jacobi and Trevor Nunn, ETG is an all-student theatre company that tours Europe with a Shakespeare play at the start of the Christmas holidays every year. Last year’s tour went to Chantilly, Leuven, Frankfurt, Montreux, Konstanz, Bern and Antwerp before coming to Cambridge for a run at the ADC Theatre in January.
