60-Second Shakespeare is a BBC project to encourage UK students to create their own 60-second interpretations of Shakespeare using audio, video, animation and IT skills. A MIDSUMMER NIGHT IN BLACKPOOL is made by pupils at Arnold School, Blackpool. The fairies and Titania plan a hen night out in Blackpool to make Oberon jealous. Oberon decides to teach Titania a lesson and sends Puck to place a love potion in Titania’s drink.
