A MIDSUM MER N IGHT ’S DREA M SYNOPSIS

Act 1 Scene 1 - Theseus, Duke of Athens, is preparing the festivities for his upcoming marriage to Hippolyta, an Amazonian princess. Egeus, Hermia’s father, arrives demanding that his daughter marry Demetrius, his choice for her husband. Hermia refuses, declaring her love for Lysander, and the ancient Athenian law of death or life-long chastity is pronounced upon her. Hermia and Lysander plot to flee Athens and tell their plan to Helena, Hermia’s life-long friend. Helena is in love with Demetrius and decides to tell him of their elopement. Act 1 Scene 2 - Six Athenian tradesmen and women decide to put on a play called “Pyramus and Thisbe” for Theseus and Hippolyta’s wedding. They are given their parts to study and they agree to meet for a rehearsal in the woods outside Athens.

Act 2 Scene 1 - Oberon and Titania, King and Queen of the Fairies, quarrel over possession of a young Indian changeling boy. In order to revenge Titania and retrieve the boy, Oberon orders his servant, Robin Goodfellow or Puck, to fetch a magic flower filled with the love potion of Cupid, which will make Titania fall madly in love with the next creature she sees. Demetrius enters the woods pursued by Helena and, with Oberon looking on, Demetrius tells Helena to leave him and return home because he cannot stand the sight of her. When Puck returns with the flower, Oberon, sympathizing with Helena, orders him to place some flower juice in Demetrius’ eyes so that he will fall in love with Helena. Act 2 Scene 2 - Oberon anoints Titania’s eyes with the flower juice as she sleeps. Puck finds sleeping Lysander and Hermia and, mistaking Lysander for Demetrius, anoints Lysander’s eyes with the flower juice. Helena arrives and wakes Lysander who, under the spell of the flower juice, instantly falls in love with her. Act 3 Scene 1 - The tradesmen and women meet in the woods and begin to rehearse their play when Puck happens upon them. For fun, Puck turns Bottom into an ass and watches as his terrified friends run away. Titania wakes under the influence of the flower juice and falls madly in love with Bottom the ass.

Intermission

Act 3 Scene 2 - Puck reports Titania’s love for Bottom the ass to Oberon. With the entrance of Hermia and Demetrius, Oberon realizes Puck has anointed the eyes of the wrong person. Forcing Demetrius to sleep, Oberon places the flower juice in Demetrius eyes and orders Puck to fetch Helena. Helena enters, pursued by Lysander just as Demetrius wakes up and, on seeing Helena, falls madly in love with her. Now both Lysander and Demetrius are madly in love with Helena. Hermia enters and blames Helena for stealing Lysander’s love, while Helena accuses Hermia of mocking her. In order to avoid any more fighting, Oberon orders Puck to lead each of the lovers to sleep and apply a remedy to Lysander’s eyes so that, when he wakes, he will again love Hermia.

Act 4 Scene 1 - Titania and her attendants pamper Bottom the ass who falls asleep in her arms. Oberon frees Titania from the love enchantment with an antidote and, together, they charm the sleep of the four lovers and Bottom, to make them think the nights’ events were nothing more than a dream. Theseus and Egeus find the lovers sleeping at the edge of the wood and, awaking them, Theseus gives his consent for the two couples, Demetrius/Helena and Lysander/Hermia, to be wedded with him that night. Bottom awakes, no longer an ass, and is unable to describe the night’s events, which indeed seem a dream.

SYNOPSIS (c o n t.)

Act 4 Scene 2 - The tradesmen and women lament the loss of their leading actor, Bottom, when suddenly Bottom enters and tells the troop their play has been chosen for that night’s festivities. Act 5 Scene 1 - Theseus and Hippolyta watch “Pyramus and Thisbe” as the entertainment for their wedding night. As the newly married couples retire to bed Oberon and Titania bless the three marriages.

AQUIL A THEATRE

Aquila Theatre’s mission is to make classical works accessible to the greatest number. A play becomes ‘classical’ because we recognize that after a time it transcends the original culture it was created for. It retains the power to provoke the central question of what it means to be human. As a company dedicated to the classics, we feel a responsibility to acknowledge and explore newfound classical works. Founded in London in 1991 by Peter Meineck, Aquila is now based in New York City. Aquila’s programs include:

A MAJOR ANNUAL NATIONAL TOUR: Aquila is the foremost producer of touring classical theatre in the United States, visiting 60-70 American cities per year. Aquila’s 2008/2009 Tour consisted of: Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors and Homer’s The Iliad: Book One. The 2009/2010 season of Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People began with The Festival of the Aegean on Syros, Greece and the Shakespeare Festival/LA. Our 2010/2011 Tour is Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author. The 2011/2012 season will be Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest.

PRODUCTIONS IN NEW YORK CITY: Aquila is a major part of New York’s theatrical landscape, producing a regular season of plays. Aquila recently produced Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Homer’s The Iliad: Book One Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, and Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at New York University.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS: Aquila is dedicated to theatre arts education and produces three major initiatives: Workshop America, a nationwide program that provides an opportunity for people to share in the art of Aquila; Theatre Breakthrough, which brings America’s schools to the stage; and Shakespeare Leaders, an after-school program that enables inner-city students to perform the classics at Frederick Douglas Academy in Harlem, NYC.

ANCIENT GREEKS/MODERN LIVES: Aquila has been awarded a highly prestigious NEH Chairman’s Special Award for a major national humanities program, Ancient Greeks/Modern Lives: Poetry-Drama-Dialogue, traveling to 100 public libraries and art centers across America.

S IX CHAR ACTERS SYNOPSIS

by Luigi PirandelloPeter Meineck, Producing Artistic Director As part of the 2010/2011 Season, Aquila Theatre presents an exciting new production of Nobel Laureate Luigi Pirandello’s most famous drama, Six Characters in Search of an Author. First staged in Rome in 1921, Pirandello’s surrealist play dared to ask fundamental questions about the very nature of art and entertainment, blurring the line between reality and artifice. Just as the original London audience at Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest rioted, the crowds in Rome erupted in cries of “manicomio!” (Madhouse!) during the first performance. Yet Six Characters went on to be considered a groundbreaking work and one of the most important plays of the twentieth century. Charles Spencer writing recently for the London Telegraph described the work as “combining intellect with raw emotion and remaining highly influential”. The play opens with a group of actors preparing to rehearse for a Pirandello play, but they are interrupted by the unexpected arrival of six nameless characters. The leader of the characters, the father, informs the manager of the play that they are looking for an author explaining that the writer did not finish their story. They are, therefore, unrealized and incomplete characters. The characters continue to question the reality of their situation even in matters of life and death. When one character dies, they debate whether the situation is “real” or “make believe.” Finally, the play’s producer admits that “all these realities of today are going to seem tomorrow as if they had been an illusion,” and that “perhaps you ought to distrust your own sense of reality.” In the age of virtual reality and reality TV, internet hoaxes and entertainment “news”, Pirandello’s play is amazingly vital and relevant while being both poignant and incredibly funny. What is the truth? Is my reality your reality? Is the distinction between reality and fiction an illusion? Aquila Theatre will bring a top quality ensemble of international artists to the stage for this historic and timely play in what the Los Angeles Times described as “Superb… intelligence and laser-sharp line readings.”

SLEEPING BEAUT Y

The Missoula Children’s Theatre presents SLEEPING BEAUTY, an original adaptation of the classic fairy tale. A new princess is born, and from far and wide the people of the kingdom gather to celebrate. One simple mistake is made - an invitation is misplaced - and the wrath of the vicious Scarella falls upon the poor infant in the form of a spell. Sleeping Beauty is now destined to sleep for eternity if she should prick her finger on a spindle before she reaches her sixteenth birthday. Sleeping Beauty’s Fairy Godmothers do their best to amend the spell, but Scarella, with the help of some nasty Trolls, tricks Sleeping Beauty into pricking her finger and the spell takes effect. Five hundred years pass, and Sleeping Beauty wakes to find herself in a Rock ‘n Roll dream! Also featured in this production are the King and the Queen, Spot, the Fairies, the Palace Attendants and the Caterpillars. SLEEPING BEAUTY - a Rock ‘n Roll Fable for the ages. This is definitely no sleeper!
