A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
William Shakespeare, Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota • Creation
THE PATH OF TRUE LOVE DOES NOT RUN SMOOTH, SPELLS ARE CAST AT NIGHT, IN AN ODE TO THE POWER OF THE IMAGINATION AND WONDERMENT WHEN FACING THE CHALLENGES OF THE WORLD.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a strange, rumbustious play, moving through realms of both fantasy and venom, of transgression and surprises. Things wondrous and comical come and go, in turn, in a universe that is home to imaginary creatures and human beings in equal numbers. The journey here seems to be related to unconscious forces operating in our nighttime ventures. There are the comings and goings and mix-ups of young people in love hoping to escape the pressure of the family in a comedy of errors that leaves human passion free to roam and rage unfettered. The play is a meditation on the power of dreams and imagination, yet it will see the young couples recover from their excesses, then wisely abide by the rules. Ultimately, magic and magic spells will have created a new community and all creatures will live in harmony and peace in society, and laughter shall triumph. In other words, all’s well that ends well.
