A Midsummer Night's Dream
by
William Shakespeare
June 23rd-25th, June 28th-July 1st 2000
Directed by Mike Rogerson and Celia Bonner
Shakespeare's most magical production where the lives of the immortals
Oberon and Titania cross with mortal lovers in Athens - with a little help from Puck,
and a little interference from a group of rehearsing Mechanicals.
Have a picnic
on the lawn before sitting under cover whilst you watch the performance in the open air
with Gawsworth Hall as a backdrop.
