Pyramus and Thisbe Are Alive transports Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream to 21st century West London, Shepherd’s Bush. From the woods of ancient Greece Titania and Oberon left behind to modern London’s urban and capitalistic society, the play celebrates the city’s vibrant and diverse multicultural environment as the human knack for adapting and thriving even in the most unfamiliar and adverse circumstances. The play explores how clues left by the past can be interpreted in the present in a transformative way, illustrating how the present ultimately has the power to reconfigure the past.
