A student theatre group, under the direction of John White, presents the performance of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in English. John White works as English teacher, but he is also a theatre actor/director. At the beginning of the academic year, he organizes a group with students who are interested in working with Shakespeare’s original texts, or simply in acting, and prepares a performance for the end of the year. The previous performance took place in 2006 and the group presented the comedy “The Merry Wives of Windsor” (see our video coverage: Shakespeare Wrocław).

About the Play:
William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (”The Lovers”) tells the story of four lovers who elope into the forest to escape a forced marriage brought on by Athenian law. There they are met by trickster fairies who live in the woods and who, using a magic love flower, lead the lovers astray in a long night of jealousy and misunderstandings. When they awake in the morning they have come to a new appreciation of each other’s love.
