A Note from the Director RACHEL KELLY Presenting A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the natural beauty

of the Santa Fe Botanical Garden highlights the play’s many

references to a world that never ceases to enchant us.

The unique realms to be found in what has been described

as Shakespeare’s most imaginative play are masterfully

woven together like an unfolding dream. There is the domain

of the court, which is ruled by Duke Theseus and his bride-to-

be Hippolyta. There is the haunting beauty of the surrounding

woods, which are presided over by Oberon and Titania, the

King and Queen of the Fairies. There are the confusion-filled

haunts of the Lovers, who flee the court in search of solutions

to their romantic dilemmas. And there is the rustic retreat of

a simple but endearing group of “rude Mechanicals,” rough-

hewn men “who work for bread upon Athenian stalls,” and

who are “met together to rehearse a play intended for great

Theseus’ nuptial day.”

These settings intermingle and become delightfully enmeshed in

a frequently nightmarish plot whose prevailing theme is that

“the course of true love never did run smooth.” And out of this

midsummer madness the playwright weaves what the ineffable

Bottom calls “a most rare vision,” a transformative resolution

that Hippolyta recognizes as “something of great constancy.”

Presenters’ Gratitude

Following an inaugural season of Shakespeare in the Garden

that featured an enthusiastically-received production of The

Tempest, we’re delighted to welcome you to another classic

in a setting that seems perfectly suited to its special charms.

Once again we’re exceedingly grateful for the time and talent

that have been so generously contributed to this endeavor,

not only by our extraordinary dramatic artists, but by a pro-

duction crew that has worked tirelessly to facilitate their work.

We’re equally indebted to the sponsors, donors, volunteers,

and dedicated audience members who are doing so much to

make Shakespeare feel at home in a capital that was founded

while the playwright was at the height of his powers. A partial

list of special acknowledgments appears to the right.

Marigay Graña SEPTEMBER 2, 1936 – SEPTEMBER 19, 2017

Last year we lost a leading advocate for the arts and civic

values. In 1992 Marigay Graña (pictured above) stepped up

to ensure the revival of Shakespeare in Santa Fe. She became

a member of its Board, and she fervently dedicated herself to its

endeavors. An award-winning author, urban planner, linguist,

historian, collector, adventurer, and political activist, she

was a loving friend. We miss her dearly, and we dedicate

to her memory this production of a play she cherished.
