Description

This version of Shakespeare’s classic is a superb adaptation for one-act play contests, classroom studies and mini-productions. The lyrical fantasy of a fairy kingdom, the slapstick farce of Bottom and his fellow weavers, and the wit and splendor of the duke’s court all make this short comedy a triple treat of merrymaking. The plot and characters delightfully illustrate in Puck’s words, What fools these mortals be. Simple woodland set. Elizabethan or fanciful costumes. Approximate running time: 40 minutes.
