Graham Lustig’s unusual and
creative staging of William Shakespeare’s comedic
masterpiece, set to the music of Mendelssohn, begins
with the marital spat between the King and Queen of
the Fairies, Oberon and Titania. At the heart of
their quarrel is the custody of a beautiful
changeling child. "Not for thy fairy kingdom"
answers Titania to Oberon’s request. Not happy with
this answer, Oberon sends Puck, his trickster
servant, on the mission of his revenge.
