2014-11-20 Jack plays Egeus in Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights Dream

Jack played the role of Egeus in Midsummer Nights Dream at the 6th grade Shakespeare festival at Bonneville Elementary. This is Melissa's last elementary school Shakespeare play. Thomas was in 'As You Like It', Joshua was in Midsummer Nights Dream, and Benjamin was in Twelfth Night. The school with all its volunteers does a wonderful job of putting the play together.

Egeus -  Hermia’s father, who brings a complaint against his daughter to Theseus: Egeus has given Demetrius permission to marry Hermia, but Hermia, in love with Lysander, refuses to marry Demetrius. Egeus’s severe insistence that Hermia either respect his wishes or be held accountable to Athenian law places him squarely outside the whimsical dream realm of the forest.
