By Open Air Theatre

The complete creative team for our 2012 season has been confirmed. Timothy Sheader will direct the musical Ragtime, with choreography by Javier de Frutos. Musical direction is by Nigel Lilley and orchestrations by Chris Walker.

Matthew Dunster will direct A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Matthew is an Associate Artist at the Young Vic and as a playwright, his play Children’s Children will debut at the Almeida Theatre in May. The Dream will have movement direction by Charlotte Broom and original music by Olly Fox.

Following his iconic design for last season’s Lord of the Flies, Jon Bausor is Set Designer for both productions in 2012 (in addition to designing the opening ceremony for the Paralympic Games). Other members of the shared creative team include Laura Hopkins (costume design), James Farncombe (lighting design), and Nick Lidster and Ian Dickinson for Autograph (sound design).
