A Midsummer Night's Dream
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Ian Guy and Alice Purcell
24th - 27th June 2015 at The Shed
Theseus is preparing for his marriage and has commissioned a play.
Lysander loves Hermia, as does Demetrius, but he’s being pursued by Helena.
The King and Queen of the Fairies are in the middle of a spat and the men of Athens are trying to rehearse their play. Puck sprinkles his fairy dust, causing confusion and fisticuffs, but all is resolved at the end.
With music, song, dance and the odd surprise Exeter Drama Company put their own slant on the Bard!
A Midsummer Night’s Dream won Best Play in our in house awards for the 2014 - 2015 season, with Jake Lee winning Best Actor for playing Puck.
