The Bard is being set to music on Teesside this week with a musical adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, at the Middlesbrough Theatre.

The production is staged by Shakespeare 4 Kidz, which mixes music with modern and Elizabethan language to make Shakespeare exciting and more accesible to children. The Teesside fairies are children attending local Stagecoach theatre schools.
