Three teacher-clowns - a science teacher, a PE teacher and an English teacher - find themselves locked in the school hall of Athens Academy with their class: the audience, and they can’t figure out why. As they attempt an escape to catch the waiting coach due to take them on their summer school trip, they find themselves playing games, battling invisible monsters and stumbling headlong into A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The forest bursts through the walls, transforming the school hall into an immersive woodland of shifting rainbows, scents, forest textures and spatial sound - the most impossible, most beautiful thing any of them have ever seen.

 

Rooted in The Blanket Fort Club’s commitment to radically inclusive storytelling, the piece blends clowning, sensory theatre and emerging accessible technology. Haptics, 360° spatial audio and subtle projection deepen emotional engagement-tools that support access, especially for young people with PMLD and complex needs.
