Arden Players stage A Midsummer Night's Dream in wooded Arden amphitheater
A mixed cast of locals and fairies enlivens the Frank Stephens Memorial Theater with clever casting. Kathryn O'Hara and Patti Allis Mengers shine as Hermia and Helena, while Robert E. Welsh Jr. and Christopher Byrne give solid turns as Lysander and Demetrius. Puck, played by Charles J. Conway, delights as a prankish sprite, and Nick Bottom endears as the bewitched donkey. The production uses practical forest set pieces and simple costumes, delivering a charming, barefoot-earth mood.
