Midsummer Night’s Dream – Lighting

All the previous dances and plays paled in comparison to this production. Lighting was used extensively to demonstrate time of day and setting. The large white sheet often served as a projector screen to show a variety of colors from the purple flower to the blue woods. The dark stage with white spotlights was the primary standard for indoor scenes. The shadows projected by white light were used to amplify emotional effect during Oberon’s speech and when Puck is misleading Demetrius and Lysander. Simply put, a high production play with high quality lighting.
