An open-air Shakespeare performance is set to bring magic and laughter to the stage this summer.
The High Street Players will present A Midsummer Night’s Dream on the lawn in front of Cornelia’s Café at Church Green, Harpenden, from July 8 to 11.
A comedy filled with love, mischief, and magic, the play follows four young Athenians who flee to the woods, only to become entangled in a web of enchantments thanks to the fairy Puck.
Meanwhile, a band of tradesmen hilariously attempts to rehearse a play, and fairy king Oberon tricks his queen Titania into falling in love with a donkey.
Mike Lees, director of the production, said: "Midsummer Night's Dream is one of the most popular of Shakespeare's comedies and it is perfectly suited to our garden setting which should ensure a magical production."
As with all outdoor theatre, weather will play a part.
Performances may be paused during heavy showers, but will only be cancelled if conditions make continuation impossible.
Tickets are £12 and available from Manor Pharmacy, Harpenden (cash only), hsplayers.org.uk, or by calling 01582 620269.
