We've been inspired by our production of A Midsummer Night's Dream to create our ultimate 90s playlist.
We asked members of the company to pick a 90s banger they'd want on the playlist and why, so scroll through their picks below, have a listen and let us know on social what your 90s pick would be.
Warning: some of our company members aren't lucky enough to have experienced the 90s for real - for those of us that were, enjoy reliving some club classics and Brit Pop anthems.

Kishore Walker - Playing Flute/Cobweb
My song is Wannabe by Spice Girls
When my Mum was pregnant with me, it was top of the charts, and she played it all the time. Apparently, I used to jig along in her tummy...!

Shane David-Joseph - Playing Puck
My song is Tempted to Touch by Beres Hammond
Reggae and Soca were always played in our house, and this track takes me back to my mum cooking the best dishes whilst the radio blares out tunes on the radio (usually with a DJ speaking through the whole song on Roots FM).

Freya Parks - Playing Helena
My song is Common People by Pulp
What an anthem!!! I love feeling like I’m reliving the 90s through a strange sort of second-hand nostalgia every time I hear this song (and, well, any Pulp song). Makes you think about the state of classism in Britain whilst you jump up and down, singing it at the top of your lungs!

Giles Taylor - Playing Peter Quince
My song is Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me by Elton John and George Michael
Two titans of the 80s/90s pop scene, and one of the greatest ballads ever written.

Charlie Beck - Playing Snug / Mustardseed
My song is Gypsy Woman by Crystal Waters
I love it because no matter what mood I’m in, it always makes my day better.

Eve Ponsonby - Playing Titania
My song is Just A Girl by No Doubt
Me and my little bro in the 90s. As a hardcore tomboy, this was my anthem and Gwen was my hero.

David Sturzaker - Playing Oberon
My song is Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
One song?! So hard. But I've gone for this. Is it my favourite? Probably not. But it's a great tune and it totally transports me back to my teenage years in the 90s of house parties and discoveries.

Anna Soden - Playing Starveling / Moth
My song is I Touch Myself by Divinyls
It’s a banger!

Ellie Larkin - Playing Lysanda
My song is Caribbean Blue by Enya
It’s truly ethereal and whimsical, and captures that 90s feeling of total possibility.
Thank you Enya !

Linda Fitzpatrick - Company Stage Manager
My song is Firestarter by The Prodigy
Number one when my son was born!

Jake Bartle - Producer
My song is The Sunshine After The Rain (Two Cowboys Edit) by Berri
This was one of the tracks on a compilation album I was bought as a child (Now That's What I Call Music! 32) - Me and my friend Laura would jump around on sofa’s dancing to this song as kids – in our dance heaven! (I was 9 years old).

Laura Bern - Marketing
My song is Set You Free by N-Trance
The pop girly in me is having a really hard time not picking a Spice Girls, All Saints, Alisha’s Attic or Ace of Base song but… this one just sums up a whole era, and for a long time after it remained a getting ready anthem before a night out.
