Visual Theses

Arthur Rackham, Midsummer Night's Dream Fairies (1908)


Here are links to a variety of posters for performances of MSND. Think about what aspect of the film seems to be emphasized through the design of the poster, and what kind of interpretation (or interpretive staging) might take place.

A Mangasummer Night's Dream
A ballet production, pink and flowers
A bit rustic and Bottom on the bottom
A wide variety of play posters--MSND at the bottom
Bottom over the Rainbow!
Community theatre goes to Decadent Paris!
Mangasummer Optional
Newspaper, geometric montage approach
Pencil drawing and lettering for poster
Scroll down for a description of a production that is "urban and gritty."
Scroll down to May 3-19 for a MSND description and poster
The forests have eyes....
Very crafty stampwork!

Links collected and organized by Dr. Brook Haley. Many thanks to him. Many: it's a great collection of MSND images.
