Shoreline Theatre Wiki



Welcome to the  This project was started in 2012 to chart Shoreline's history and to make accessible all the information we have about our past endeavours. Currently, we have information about past shows, our past committees and the past winners for our annual Oscars ceremony.



Shoreline Theatre is Swansea University's official drama society. Formed in 1922 as Swansea University's Drama Society, we are one of the university's oldest societies and traditionally put on between 2-8 shows a year.

Our core guiding principle behind putting shows on is that we do everything ourselves. Doing everything really does mean doing everything; Shoreliners direct our own actors, who are lit by our own technicians in costumes sourced or created by our own costumes department, who are also responsible for making, finding and distributing the props for each of our shows. Putting on a show is a huge undertaking but it is also massively rewarding.

Written by William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream tells the tale of four lovers whose romantic intentions are manipulated by the magic of the King of the Fairies and his underling Puck. The play mixes romantic notions with comedy.

It was directed by Nina Hansson and Roselle Bridge and was performed on the 2nd and 3rd of March 2011 at the Dylan Thomas Theatre.

The show featured a collaboration with the Dance Society and the show was choreographed by Gemma Clegg.
