2025 Oberon Shakespeare Festival - Part 3
A Midsummer Night's Dream at The Common

March 20, 2025

The weather on the afternoon and night of March 15 was perfect, and a good crowd assembled in the Oberon Common for a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The cast consisted of four actors from Come You Spirits plus some extras from Oberon High School's after school drama group and they put on a show that nobody could be unhappy about. It used a minimal set, but with Shakespeare it's the words that matter so very little scenery is required to tell the story.

The audience assembles in anticipation.

Now on to the show. As it was neither possible nor appropriate to get between the audience and the players to use a flash, the photos only go until the the light dropped to the limits of the clever Nikon to reduce motion blur and manage exposure.

A special mention should be made of professional sound and light technician Adam Scott, who synchronised music and sound effects with the scrolling script.
