In this second term, we will have the opportunity to enjoying the play A Midsummer Night´s Dream in our High School, a contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare´s play, performed by The Pocket Oxford Theatre Company.
As you know, the classical play was written by William Shakespeare and it is believed to have been written between 1590 and 1596. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors, who are manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed around the world.
