DIRECTED BY ELIZABETH ALLUM
As enchanting as it is playful, this Shakespearean comedy, set in a magical forest near Athens, follows four defiant young lovers, a hilariously untalented group of amateur actors, the austere royal court of Athens, and the magical inhabitants of a fairy kingdom. The play explores themes of love in its many forms, the thin line between reality and illusion, and the delicate balance of the light and dark sides of desire. As the worlds of humans and fairies intertwine, love, jealousy, magic and mischievous fairies create a dreamscape of confusion, passion and hilarity. But despite the chaos (or, perhaps, because of it) all ends well in this timeless tale, echoing the sentiment that 'the course of true love never did run smooth.
