POLESDEN LACEY A Midsummer Night's Dream Presented by Polesden Lacey Shakespeare and directed by Margaret Hunter
This drama is one of the great comedies by William Shakespeare. The play revolves around the adventures of four young lovers, a group of amateur actors and their interactions with the fairies who inhabit a moonlit forest.
The story takes place in midsummer and is a complex farce featuring Hermia and Lysander, Helena and Demetrius. Their romantic intrigues are confused, and complicated still further by entering the forest where Oberon, the King of the Fairies and his Queen,
Titania preside. Puck (Oberon's servant) is a major character who is full of mischief and tricks. Other visitors to the enchanted forest include Bottom the weaver and his friends Snug, Snout, Quince and Flute, the amateur actors who want to rehearse their terrible but hilarious version of the play Pyramus and Thisbe.
