The University of Adelaide Theatre Guild presents A Midsummer Night's Dream playing at The Little Theatre from May 6th - May 15th 2022. Come relive William Shakespeare's masterpiece live on stage in Adelaide. Directed by Megan Dansie, A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy written by William Shakespeare in 1595/1596. The play follows several intertwined stories happening within the same forest, stories of love and disorder. Set in Athens, it is centred around the marriage of Theseus the Duke of Athens and Hippolyta Queen of the Amazons. Hermia's father, Egeus, wants her to marry Demetrius but she refuses because she's in love with Lysander. They decide to elope that night. This works out perfectly because their good friend Helena is in love with Demetrius and hopes to win him over.

Within the forest Oberon, the King and Titania, the Queen of the fairies, are in an epic fight that affects a group of Athenian tradesmen who are rehearsing a play to perform at the Duke's wedding. The King uses a magic plant to cast a spell on Queen Titania, causing her to fall in love with the first creature she sees. The fairies don't use the plant on each other, but to influence the humans as well. The King's servant, Puck, plans to use the magic plant on Demetrius to help him fall in love with Helena, but when he confuses the two men, he uses it on Lysander instead - how will this epic tale of love play out?
