SHAKESPEARE CLUB
The play chosen by the Dunedin Shakespeare Club for the third reading of the sixtieth season, to be given in His Majesty’s Theatre next Wednesday, is the popular comedy, ‘ A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’ Spontaneous, humorous, and altogether delightful, this play has always been a favourite with audiences. Against the colourful background of fairyland is set the bluff comedy of the Athenian artisans and their delightful excursions into the unfamiliar realms of play-acting, while to the youthful lovers whose “ course of true love never did run smooth, Puck introduces further complications with highly diverting results. In presenting such readings the club is ndoubtedly furthering the objects for which it was founded in 1877, those of cultivating the almost lost art of reading aloud ancl also of spreading the influence of the works of the greatest glory of English literature. A strong cast has been selected. During tho evening vocal solos will be rung by Miss Muriel Eagar. Box plan arrangements are advertised.
