Theater in Chappaqua Chappaqua Drama Group gives Midsummer Night's Dream lively performance by Nancy McCann Shakespeare's romantic comedy, Midsummer Night's Dream, about the confused courtships of two couples lost in a forest, with a bank of bumbling actors, ruled by mischievlous fairies, unfolds at a lively pace marked with spirited performances of the actors, in the Chappaqua Drama Group's production at Horace Greeley High School. Phyllis Speight-Anderson, as the strongwilled Hermia and Rita Crosby playing the deter mined Helena leave little doubt that they will get their men at the denoument. Both actresses brought the sparkling quality of Shakespeare's strong female characters to life with chasing, plotting, pleading, shouting and even physical force. \I go, I go swifter than an arrow in a bow,\ states Hermia in pursuit of Lysander. That graceful, directness Is seen in the skills of the two leading ladies. Dennis McGrath as Demetrius was a convincing grouse. Richard Hunter an amiable Lysander. Perry Jeffe fills royal shoes in the dual roles of Theseus, Duke of Athens and Oberon King of the Fairies. His rich resonant voice makes him every bit a king—and a Shakespearean king at that. Patricia Zleman's facial ex pressions, and comic timing as the hammy Nick Bottom was a show in itself. Sheila Halpern's throaty voice, light jumpy move ments, wide eyed face charmed as the cunning Puck. The heavy plodding of the three other forest fairies were in sharp contrast to her quick magic. Thomas Stroh was a memora ble Thisbee with sexy swaying, a ,. falsetto vojce and lull beard- AIL of the gulldsmen brought a lively humor to their roles. The pale monochrome cos tumes by Cherle Kilgour faded into the scenery. The viewer had to struggle to see the blond Her mia in her yellow garment against the light background. Perry Jeffe's skillfully created set moved quickly from city to forest.
