Lysander (Kent Lindemer) threatens Hermia (Roxanne
McCosh) during a scene from "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Senior Reporter
When the UNL theater department
decides to do a Shakespeare play, it's
hard to know what to expect. I mean,
this is the theater department that
gave us Buck Macbeth in the 25th Cen
tury, after all.
The department's current Shakes
peare production, "A Midsummer
Night's Dream," to be performed tonight
through Saturday, also takes some lib
erties with the master playwright.
"This play does occur on this planet,"
said director Gavin Cameron-Webb. "But
we've moved it up to the 19th century.
Shakespearean actors, after all, wore
the clothes of their day aad except for
Shakespeare's histories, there is no
accepted mode of dress for the plays."
Cameron-Webb, a guest directorwho
teaches at the Juilliard School in New
York City, said the play's axis is the
conflict between duty and desire.
Theater Preview
"Victorians are emblematic of that
conflict," Cameron-Webb said. "They
venerated duty and order and subli
mated desire. When duty is so rigidly
imposed on a society, love will inevita
bly be perverted."
Of course, "A Midsummer Night's
Dream" is a comedy, so desire has to
win out.
"Love brings harmony to all,"
Cameron-Webb said. "And the lovers
lose the conventions of polite society."
Nineteen actors are in the play, and
one, Brent Schawl, is using the perfor
mance to complete his master of fine
arts degree. Tom Umfred designed the
sets, and Janet Stauffer designed the
costumes for the production.
The play also will be performed
Tuesday through April 25 in the Howell
Theatre. Shows start at 8 p.m. Tickets
for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" are
$8 for the public and $6 for students,
senior citizens and children. Fifteen
minutes before curtain time students
can get into performances for $4.
