Lysander (Paul Farrell), Hermia (Sophie MacTavish) Helena (Laura Brand) and Demetrius (Steve Bedford) in rehearsals for A Midsummer Nightʼs Dream


THE Oxted Players will be presenting A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare at the Barn Theatre in Oxted from 16 to 19 May at 7.45pm with a matinee at 2.30pm on the 19 May.


Egeus, a citizen of Athens, orders his daughter Hermia to marry Demetrius but she refuses because she and Lysander are in love. Her life- long friend Helena is in love with Demetrius, who once loved her but now does not. Under the law of Athens, Duke Theseus gives Hermia four days to obey her father on pain of death or confinement to a nunnery.


Hermia and Lysander escape this harsh law by running away to the woods.


Demetrius pursues them there, with Helena pursing him. In the woods, Oberon and Titania, King and Queen of the fairies, have quarrelled because Titania refuses to hand over an Indian changeling boy to be Oberon’s page. Oberon instructs the mischievous Puck to press the juice of a magic flower on Titania’s eyes as she sleeps to make her fall in love with the first being she sees on waking. Unfortunately for Titania, the first person she sees when she wakes up is Bottom the weaver, upon whose head Puck has placed an ass’s head. Tickets are available from 01883 724852 or on line at www.barntheatreoxted.co.uk and cost £9 for adults and £7 for students.
