Our Take on the Classic: Our romantic rendition of a Midsummer Night’s Dream involves four diverse groups of characters: the refined court party of Theseus in Athens, the four passionate Athenian lovers, a community of charming, cheeky gypsy traveler fairies, and the rude mechanicals, who are carpenters by day, but hard-working actors by night.

 

PLOT:  The fair Hermia is faced by her father's ultimatum to either marry Demetrius, become a nun, or be put to death. Unfortunately, she loves a different young Athenian, Lysander.  To complicate matters, Hermia’s friend Helena is desperately in love with Demetrius, but he rejects her affections.  Hermia and Lysander runaway into the forest to elope and are pursued there by a determined Demetrius and a love-sick Helena.  Meanwhile, the Rude Mechanicals – a band of Poor Carpenters– rehearse a production of Pyramus and Thisbe for Duke Theseus’s wedding.  Deeper within the forest, Oberon, king of the fairies, sends his mischievous assistant Puck to fetch a magical love potion.  He plans to use the potion to punish his tempestuous wife Titania after they’ve quarreled, but in the hands of Puck, the potion infects the unsuspecting Athenian lovers.  Can true love sort out what magic has set awry? 

 

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is set in Athens.  The story moves between Theseus’s palace, Quince’s house, and the surrounding forest.
