Spring 2006 - A Midsummer Night's dream


The production is an ensemble production with a cast of 15 or so, many of whom are doubling. Thus nearly all the characters in "real life" in Athens are mirrored in the "dream world" of the forest. Theseus and Hippolyta becomes Oberon and Titania; Philostrate and Egeus become Puck and the Fairy, and some of the "mechanicals" become the fairies Moth, Mustardseed etc. The emphasis is on the farce, the poetry.........and the dark undertow.
