    • "So many to choose from! I love being able to reimagine and interpret the plays so they are fresh, relevant and fun for the performers. Our production of A Midsummer Night's Dream set in the 80s with Ghostbuster mechanicals, punk rock fairies and a Madonna-esque Titania has to stand out for me. What always strikes me every year is how my students arrive on performance day as 'ugly ducklings' and by the time they exit the stage after their performance they have become majestic swans!"
