A Caribbean Dream

2016, 60 minutes

adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream written by Shakirah Bourne based on an Adaptation Concept by Melissa Simmonds.

Shakespeare’s romantic comedy is re-told in the Caribbean and brought into the 21st Century when Theseus and Hippolyta, returning Nationals, come home to Barbados to be married during Crop Over time. The island’s early history, folklore, culture and landscape of Fustic House, lends itself perfectly for the mysticism and chaos that ensues, the night before the celebrations. Produced by Lynette Eastmond & Melissa Simmonds. Executive Producers Christian Roberts and Keith Morris.
