A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare’s most famous and widely performed plays. The play is set in the forest around Athens, and revolves around the marriage of Duke Theseus of Athens and the Amazon Queen, Hippolyta. There are several subplots and twists and turns, many caused by a group of fairies who influence and direct the action for their own purposes and amusement.

Josie Tierney-Fife, the GHS Director, decided to set this production in the 1970’s rather than the 1500’s.
