GEELONG HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

About
This 80's reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s comedy intertwines the romantic calamities of four young lovers, a quarrel between the king and queen of the fairies, and the antics of a group of tradespeople (known as ‘mechanicals’) who are rehearsing a play to be staged at a royal wedding. Much of the action takes place in the woods outside of the city, where the young lovers fall victim to the mischievous fairy Puck (also known as Robin Goodfellow), who mistakenly uses a magical flower to manipulate their affections, causing chaos and confusion. Meanwhile, the fairy queen Titania is tricked into falling in love with the transformed, donkey-headed Nick Bottom, one of the mechanicals. Eventually, order is restored, true love triumphs, and the play concludes with three weddings and an unintentionally comedic performance by the mechanicals.Dates
