Abstract:
This thesis proposes the applicability and creative potential of staging William
Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a steampunk world. In achieving the
staging of an original and thought-provoking steampunk environment for the production,
emphasis was placed on historical research, as well as thorough script and character
analysis. The concept is further elaborated on in costumed character renderings as well
as the pre-production planning required for a professional theatrical costume shop.
