The award-winning team of Guy Rundle, John Thorn and Fiona Thorn followed their smash-success All Het Up with SILLY SEASON, which takes Shakespeare’s classic A Midsummer Night’s Dream and catapults it with razor-edge wit into the fickle landscape of global television. The four heat-hazed lovers are the stars of identi-soaps ‘Coast Bay’ and ‘Beach Point’, the rude mechanicals are a bunch of techs and roadies and the fairies are – what else – press agents and managers. Puck is re-incarnated as a celebrity gossip reporter who would do anything for ‘the goss’.

SILLY SEASON premiered at Monash University in 2006, directed by Aaron Joyner, with music direction by John Thorn and Choreography by Jessica Enes.
