A Midsummer Night’s Dream is amongst the most popular of Shakespeare’s comedies, transporting the audience to magical worlds in the company of the “rude mechanicals” and mischievous fairies. The RSCs latest production required set pieces to glide gracefully between locations and flown positions within the magical realm of Fairyland, to avoid breaking the illusion of the play within the play.

TAIT has a long history of supplying the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) and London’s Barbican theatre with automation for shows, and so our inventory of Reconfigurable Assets provided the motion and control for various scene changes in the latest production of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Nights Dream”. BT2 winches provided motion for several deck tracks and trucks, as well as for ladder lifts.
