What if the world of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream was real? What were the six ‘rude mechanicals’ up to when they were not on stage? As well as holding down a day job, lines needed to be memorised, costumes made, rehearsals arranged. Popular Mechanicals explores the comic possibilities in an irreverent mash-up of Shakespeare and what might have been.

This production by La Boite Theatre was the inaugural production at the Brisbane Powerhouse in 2000. It was directed by Sue Rider and designed by Christopher Smith.
