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.
