Making Dreams a Reality: Cobweb Dreams
Cobweb Dreams by Lindsay Price is a fun-filled fantasy that runs parallel to the events of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Available in full length or one-act versions, this movement-based Shakespearean comedy is a fun-filled play that your middle school and high school students won’t want to miss.
Cobweb is not having a good time as part of Titania’s train. She dreams of a life where she plays pranks all day long and doesn’t have to be a stuffy, stuck-up fairy in waiting. If only it was a simple as crossing the brook to be part of Oberon’s train!
But life in the woods is not simple. The King and Queen fight tooth and nail, Cobweb fights to make her dreams come true, and her friends fight to keep her from being turned into a toadstool. A mortal with a donkey head has wandered into the grove and the flower fairies blame Cobweb. Oh will this midsummer night never end
Under the direction of Emily Steelman , the incredibly talented drama group at the Redwing Drama Club in Eminence, Missouri made their ‘cobweb dreams’ a stunning and successful reality! Check out some of the pictures they shared to be transported to a magical forest full of fantasy, fun and fairies.
Great job, Redwing Drama Club!
