The Fabularium at the RSC!

In June last year The Fabularium had the exciting opportunity to be part of the Pilot Sites event run by the company Pilot Nights and hosted by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford. The show was called 'The Midsummer Mechanicals Perform the Town Band of Bremen' - and it was exactly that. Peter Quince, Starveling, Flute and Bottom all took to the stage in bumbling mechanics fashion to perform the old German folk tale we tour around with us!

As was only fitting, Bottom played the Donkey.

We adapted the play for the event including shortening it and of course adding more Shakespeare references, and we had a fantastic time performing it at the RSC, in the courtyard directly opposite their main entrance.

We also had the opportunity to attend a workshop run by fantastically experienced vocal coach to the RSC Charlie Hughes-Daeth (check out her highly impressive CV here!) which was really engaging and useful.

Other artists performing at the event included Bright Particular, Hannah Silva, Alice Cooper & Claire Willoughby and Miranda La Mutanta.
