For this year‘s Bard in the Botanics, writer and performer David Leddy has created a walking tour with a difference.
The rise of the audio tour, like podcasts, seems to be a particularly 215t century craze. When you‘ve got little or no time to read a newspaper, having the news of the day piped directly into your aural canal is a necessity. Likewise. if reading all the information panels in a museum or gallery seems just too tedious. wouldn't it be useful to have your own
personal running commentary?
It was this very idea which inspired David Leddy to create a radio-play- cum-walking-tour for Bard in the Botanics, one which promises to be far more creative and interactive than your average audio guide. ‘You walk around with a map and you‘re given eight different sights. each with its own track, so everywhere you go is referenced at some point,’ explains Leddy. ‘It sounds a bit like a radio tuning in and out of different frequencies — you hear all these short contradictory snippets which eventually link
together into a whole'.
For the Shakespearean element, Leddy was naturally drawn to the forest setting of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Yet this is no simple retelling of the fantastical rom-com. ‘I wanted to look at the themes in it rather than simply trying to tell the story in a different way, so it doesn‘t use any of Shakespeare's characters or his storylines. Instead it makes lots of thematic references - of falling asleep in a forest. of people falling in love with the wrong people.‘ But it wasn‘t only the setting that made the play the perfect starting point for an audio-drama. ‘I drew quite heavily on Benjamin Britten's opera version, which he made in 1966, and there are references throughout the play to listening. hearing and music. For example, when Puck and his craftsmen perform Pyramus and Thisbe, they make lots of jokes about being able to see a voice and hear someone’s
face, so it was perfect really.’ .[50L'1'7’i‘(itil’lr‘lib, (Li'liitflfl'.
