The Masked Bard explores the use of masks in Shakespearean theatre, where masking has been integral since the earliest performances. The Masked Bard focuses on the Mechanicals from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, following them from casting through rehearsal to the performance of their hilariously chaotic play, reimagined as a mask work. Along the way, the journey weaves through key Shakespearean moments, including the Player’s speech from Hamlet, the post-masked-ball scene from Romeo and Juliet, and The Witches of Macbeth, with selected speeches and sonnets interspersed throughout.The Masked Bard is co-directed by Steen and Zachary Hanlon, with masks designed by Steen.
