However, we can all see them in the Darwin Shopping Centre for a special performance next Thursday, February 21, at 1pm.
They will perform Pyramus and Thisbe, the play within the main play, in costume the day before their two-night run at Theatre Severn.
Artistic director Maggie Love explains:
“Steam punk is an exciting style of production too, the sort of thing Danny Boyle did for the Olympics opening ceremony with Victorian costumes and modern gadgetry.
The Shropshire Youth Theatre was formed in 1993 to provide an opportunity for young people from across the county to gain experience of all aspects of theatre.
They run senor and junior sections with the seniors, aged 13 to 18, involved in the production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s classic comedy of life and love.
Maggie Love said: “Every year we do a number iof performances at various festivals and events and for parents and friends and a major production at Theatre Severn.
“The Pyramus and Thisbe scene is a play within the play and will lend itself to being performed at the Darwin Centre – it should be good fun for our cast and for the shoppers too.The Shropshire Youth Theatre production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is at the Walker Theatre at Theatre Severn on Friday and Saturday, February 22 and 23, tickets available from the theatre, www.theatresevern.co.uk .
