A Theatre Laboratory on William Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream will take place during the month of September 2005 in The Moray Music Centre, Elgin.

Run by Charioteer Theatre this laboratory is open to anyone above 17 years of age with a basic knowledge of drama and a real interest in deepening his/her acting experience.

• Text analysis and dramaturgy: how an actor approaches the text and then analyses it
