Electric Dreams production to grace borough’s historic ruins
AN OUTDOOR spectacular in Norton Priory Gardens will be presented as part of Halton’s Borough of Culture celebration.
The outdoor theatre production, ‘Electric Dreams’, will be presented by A Place For Us Theatre Company, and is set to take place on Thursday, 17 to Saturday June 19.
‘Electric Dreams’ has been described as ‘a totally awesome’ 80’s musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic tale A Midsummer Night’s Dream, staged in the spectacular Priory outdoor ruins.
The production involves a professional cast, including West End stars Zoe Curlett and Keiron Crook in the roles of Titania and Oberon.
The cast will be accompanied by a live professional band and there will also be funded opportunities for performing arts and technical theatre students age 16-18 to perform and be involved in the show.
Halton Borough Council Executive Board Member for Economic Development,
and lead Member for Halton’s Borough of Culture, Cllr Eddie Jones, said: “The splendid and atmospheric Norton Priory medieval site and woodland is so well suited to this evocative piece of theatre that it surely should not be missed.
“In addition, there is also the wonderful opportunity for local young people to work with talented and established professionals who have so generously offered to share their technical and performance experience and expertise. Please be there to Celebrate Halton.”
