Each term, Perform 7-12s put together a specially written show with original music, high energy dance and lots of funny scenes to enjoy. From April, we're bringing Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream bang up-to-date and setting in it the world of celebrity magazines, the tabloid press, footballers and pop-stars. Complete with funky music, energetic dance and hilarious dialogue, The Dream is the must-have ticket for the summer term. The children will join Oberon, Titania and a host of famous faces as they battle for the media spotlight in the cut-throat world of celebrity life. Who will make the cover of this week’s gossip mag, Livin’ The Dream? Will Bottom win No-One’s Got Talent? And is the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta a national celebration of love or a PR hoax masterminded by a ruthless svengali? This app is the ideal companion to the show. It contains a complete copy of the script (best viewed on iPad), special walk-through videos of the songs and dance moves to help you perfect your performances and full production films of professional actors performing the musical numbers.
