A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare
December 1-3, 8-10, 2006
Fisher Theater
A Midsummer Night's Dream is perhaps Shakespeare's most adored widely
produced and accessible plays. The main plot of Midsummer is a complex
contraption that involves two sets of couples (Hermia and Lysander,
and Helena and Demetrius) whose romantic cross-purposes are complicated
still further by their entrance into the play's fairyland woods
where the King and Queen of the Fairies (Oberon and Titania) preside
and the impish folk character of Puck plies his trade.
Another set of characters - Bottom the weaver and his bumptious
band of "rude mechanicals" - stumble into the main doings
when they go into the same enchanted woods to rehearse a play that
is very loosely (and comically) based on the myth of Pyramus and
Thisbe, that they perform later for the nuptials of Theseus and
Hippolyta. Midsummer is a play packed with music, dance, folklore,
love, fairies, myths, and mischief and of course, dreams.
