Learning on ScreenMidsummer Night’s Dream, A
- Synopsis
- The production, aimed at young children, blends original text with contemporary dialogue and music.
Set in Athens against a background of a Royal Wedding, the play tells three interweaving stories: four young friends are involved in a dispute concerning an arranged marriage; six working men rehearse their play to be performed at the Royal Wedding Feast; and the King and Queen of Fairyland’s constant arguing has upset the balance of the mortal world. Puck the mischievous sprite stirs these ingredients to make midsummer madness in the woods. - Series
