Ein Sommernachtstraum - von William Shakespeare
"Only this is our endeavor: art in abundance
Never shall your aversion reign"
W. Shakespeare
We are pleased to announce a very special event: A Midsummer Night's Dream in the idyllic setting of our castle garden! Twenty years ago, this timeless masterpiece was already performed there and captured the hearts of many Oldenburg residents. Now we continue this tradition while presenting a brand new production.
Experience a magical night with us as you settle down for a picnic amidst the enchanting backdrop of the castle garden.
But what is it really about? About love, of course! A loves B, who does not love A but C, and C, of course, loves A - and so on, in the spirit of: you don't love me, but I love you. It was no different in Shakespeare's time than today. Chaos, then! To clarify things - off to the castle garden!
Fortunately, the duke loves the right one. Which duke? Well, the Duke of Oldenburg, of course, Peter Ludwig. The same one who wrested the castle garden from nature, that is, the Hunte lowland, what Oberon and Titania... no, more on that later.
The duke wants to marry. Does he call all of Athens? No, he calls all of Oldenburg to the festivities! A celebration! In the castle garden! A picnic in the green! Awaken the spirit of joy everywhere!
So Oberon and Titania, the rulers of fairies and elves, are quarreling. This brings chaos to nature, and that is why love must come. Not between the two, no, humanity must reconcile with nature. At least in the dream. In Bottom's dream, so to speak. Who is this Bottom again?
Bottom belongs to an amateur theater group that wants to perform "The Comedy of Pyramus and Thisbe" for the wedding. Where? In the castle garden, of course! So: Pack your picnic, bring friends and family, and let yourself be enchanted by the art of theater.
