A Midsummer Night's Dream - Meet the Cast

A Midsummer Night's Dream (henceforth to be referred to as AMSND) is coming soon so it's time to meet the fine body of people who will be bringing this evergreen delight to the gardens of Haslemere Museum. So, settle into a comfy chair, sip a cup of cocoa and enjoy as they introduce themselves in their own words.

First up: Chris Deacon - Oberon, King of the Fairies.

"Asked ‘do you act?’ in 2004, Chris mumbled ‘err, maybe’ and this led to his first acting part since school. He’s been at it ever since, including several Shakespeare plays, most recently Haslemere Thespians’ Twelfth Night in 2018. Chris is already really enjoying playing Oberon. I mean, what’s not to like, he’s the fairy king! OK, so he’s been with his queen, Titania, for over 3000 years, so it’s not surprising if they have a bit of a fall out occasionally. But with his magical powers, and with the mischievous Puck by his side, he can have a great time manipulating the world of humans – even if it doesn’t always work out quite as planned…"

Is your appetite whetted? Why not bring along a picnic, warm clothes and something to sit on and enjoy a midsummer evening of romance, slapstick, magic and mischief. A riotous romp is guaranteed along with a happy ending!

This is a much smaller venue than the Hall with only 120 seats available for each performance and they're going fast so don't delay, tickets are £15.00 with concessions at £10.00 via the Haslemere Museum website https://haslemere-museum.arttickets.org.uk/haslemere-education-museum/a-midsummer-nights-dream-67b8ada7d2e70?t=1744141831347
