An '80s Folk-Horror Slasher Inspired by Shakespeare's Classic

Five recent college grads venture to a remote cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains, hoping for a final, unforgettable summer weekend. Instead, they find themselves in a nightmare awash with neon and synth beats. Their encounter with a local moonshine stirs up long-hidden secrets, and a sudden violent act stains the ancient forest with blood, unintentionally releasing a wrathful pagan deity imprisoned in the woods. Thrown into a realm where the natural order is disrupted and a terrifying entity starts a relentless pursuit, these friends must let go of their carefully crafted facades to make it through the night.

Please Note: Midsummer Night Scream is an intense and immersive horror experience featuring stylised violence, body horror, and exploring themes such as internalised homophobia, parental grief, and psychological trauma.

Roles

Roles Details

Title

MIA (Hermia)

Content

The pragmatist. The strategist. The woman in the room who sees the whole board and has been playing it longer than anyone knows.

Mia is not the unknowing victim of Dimitri's secret - she is his partner in it. She chose this arrangement with full information and genuine love, and she has been managing it with precision and loyalty ever since. What she didn't account for was Xander. What she didn't plan for was tonight.

Mia is the most capable person in the clearing and the one with the most to lose. She fights to the end - literally - with a mirror shard in her pocket and a wedding ring beside it. She is not saved. She saves herself as far as anyone can.

This role requires an actor who can play intelligence without coldness and grief without sentimentality. Mia is never a victim. She is a woman whose choices were real and whose ending is earned.
