Shakespeare’s Mid Summer Night's Dream Illyria Theatre Company Question: What is the difference between an Athenian weaver, the Earth’s satellite, and a donkey? Answer: Nothing at all: just another excuse for Shakespeare to squeeze out, if you’ll pardon the expression, another bum joke. Illyria's inimitable company reprises the show they performed in their very first year. Five couples – three human, one fairy, and one mythical – find their relationships sorely tested, intimately probed and indecently exposed when a troupe of amateur theatricals bumble into the forest to rehearse a play. Add to this a heady brew of confusion, magic and mischief, and you have the most perfectly frothy comedy for a moonlit summer evening. Running time (approx): 2hr 20mins (including 20 minute interval) Suitable for: all ages 5+. ABOUT THE PERFORMER Illyria Theatre Company
