A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Love has a thousand shadings and faces in this play we see many of them: Lysander and Hermia newly in love; Helena and Demetrius newly out of love, Theseus and Hippolyta beginning an arranged marriage to cement a peace and Oberon and Tatania at war in a marriage centuries old.
The Mechanicals, our workmen, discover a love for acting and along the way Love in all of its heat, joy, changeability, obsession, destruction and compassion is an ever present transforming force. Love and it’s transforming qualities are magical, and we have played with the ideas of magic being all around us in this play. John Sugden, Director (Excerpt from play program)
