For those who didnB次元官网网址檛 get their outdoor iambic fill this summer, another Shakespeare play is popping up along Dallas Road.

Shakespeare by the Sea is staging A Midsummer NightB次元官网网址檚 Dream nightly at 7 p.m. until Sept. 2 at Holland Point Park, in a relaxed and intimate setting for 100 guests each night.

B次元官网网址淭here is no Bard on the Beach here yet, but weB次元官网网址檙e going to be it,B次元官网网址� said director Robert Light, who already has plans to expand to two plays next summer.

B次元官网网址淵ou look out onto the Juan de Fuca and Olympic mountains; itB次元官网网址檚 the perfect backdrop,B次元官网网址� he said.

As part of the process, the organization is holding a two-week education program for young actors, ages 8 to 12 as well as 13 to 19, to teach the essentials of Shakespearean acting.

Students will then appear onstage as fairies and elves in the Sept. 1 and 2 performances.

The 20-actor playbill is made up of local professional and community actors, including UVic acting students, who have been rehearsing for the past two and a half months.

Light, who has been involved in more than 80 plays in his career, said the success of A Midsummer NightB次元官网网址檚 Dream will see it return next year, along with a tragedy like Macbeth.

B次元官网网址淭his is a very educated and artistic city. We know the audience is there and they want to see our show,B次元官网网址� he said.
