Summary



  Hermia loves Lysander and Helena loves Demetrius but Demetrius is supposed to

be marrying Hermia... When the Duke of Athens tries to enforce the marriage, the

lovers take refuge in the woods and wander into the midst of a dispute between the

king and queen of the fairies. Shakespeare put some of his most dazzling dramatic

poetry at the service of this teasing, glittering, hilarious and amazingly

inventive play, whose seriousness is only fleetingly glimpsed beneath its

dreamlike surface.

My notes



   There are a number of Midsummer Night's Dream in my various collections-- one

by Julie Taymor and also a Shakespeare Lives recode of the production directed by

Emma Rice.



  This Globe version comes from several years ago.  It features Michelle Terry

also seen in Love's Labours Lost at The  Globe.  



Here there are star performances by many of the players.  Pearce Quigley returns

in this production as do others.  The role of Puck has been re-created in a

variety of ways in Midsummer Night's Dream.  This is an adventurous one and a crowd pleaser.
