Shakespeare’s famous literary masterpiece, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, follows Hermia, Demetrius, Lysander and Helena; four young lovers who venture into the enchanted woods filled with fairies and sprites. While a feuding Fairy King and Queen are at war, their paths are crossed by Bottom, Quince and their friends presenting a play within a play. Against the backdrop of the wedding of Duke Theseus and Hippolyta, and the fiery battle of wills between Oberon and Titania, the four lovers are challenged by magic and mischief. The cheeky, trouble-making Puck is on-hand to ensure that the course of true love is anything but smooth, and games of fantasy, love and dreams ensue in Shakespeare’s most beguiling comedy. "Director Hayley Horton ensured that the cast understood and portrayed the play’s wit and humour, both orally and physically....a worthy and entertaining production" - TASA Online
