         12 Nights         Summer Dreaming 1973

12 Nights

Synopsis:
Twelve Nights or WTF? tells the story of Horsina Pilton, a rich, successful businesswoman, desperately lovesick for the dishy film actor Oliver De Tabloids who is holed up in the penthouse suite of the Mancia Pilton Hotel. Access to Oliver is jealously guarded by his overbearing PA, Malcolm Fabrese and Oliver is moving to Hollywood in twelve days time to work on his next movie. Meanwhile, Olivers boozy spendthrift Aunt, Tia Maria is also trying to get access to Oliver in order to marry him off to her air-headed Valley Girl protege Andrea Palemuscht. Things are not going well though and Andrea is about to call it a day, leaving Tia Maria without funding for her liquid lunches. The arrival of illegal immigrant twins Sebastian and Viola only adds to the complications as Horsina sends Sebastian (disguised as Sebrina) to woo Oliver on her behalf, with hilarious and disturbing consequences for everybody. Its a bit of a Christmas Carry On!

Summer Dreaming 1973

Synopsis:
The adaptation is set in the early 1970s; when the music charts were dominated by Glam and Prog Rock. The modest resources of a fringe company will not stretch to replicating such styles so authors John Topliff and Gina Front (with Jake Latchford on one number) rely on the lyrics - with references to industrial unrest and feminism- to convey a sense of the period in which the play is set. Musically they produce decent power pop and show tunes and the singing by the cast, particularly Dale Vicker as Bottom, is excellent. The basic plot of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is retained with confused couples on the run encountering supernatural obstacles on the way to true love. Topliff and Front's updates successfully reflect 1970's culture with Theseus and Hippolyta modelled on Prince Charles and Lady Diana and the fairies becoming hippies and druids.
