Midsummer Night’s Dreaming, A

Synopsis

In an experiment with Google’s Creative Lab, in June 2013 the Royal Shakespeare Company extended its stage online. The RSC performed A Midsummer Night’s Dream in real time over three days, as a group of commissioned artists created new characters inspired by the activity in the play, and shared their sub-plots on Google+. The aim was to use technology to explore storytelling through social media and encourage conversations outside of the traditional narratives. Through this, it was hoped to inspire people to explore innovative ways to introduce new technologies to the audience and performer.relationship.
