And finally, more Shakespeare, in the form of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ which is being performed by the Apollo Theatre Players from 27th March to 4th April (not Sunday or Monday). ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ is one of Shakespeare’s most popular and widely performed plays.
The play is set in Athens, and consists of several subplots that revolve around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. One subplot involves a conflict among four Athenian lovers. Another follows a group of six amateur actors rehearsing the play which they are to perform before the wedding. Both groups find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue.
