The Thyme of the Season Home | E-mail
 Written by Duncan Pflaster It's Hallowe'en, three months after Midsummer. When Titania and Oberon need to pay their 7-yearly tithe to hell, they need to find a human soul to sacrifice. Puck's been ensorcelled by a witch so that he can't sleep, and there's a new Autumn fairy, Pumpkinseed, who is in love with that merry wanderer of the night. Meanwhile, Helena is pregnant, Demetrius thinks she's cheating, Lysander is exploring his feminine side, and Hermia is unsatisfied. Bottom has become a huge famous rich ass. Everyone goes into the forest, but will they all come back out? The Thyme of The Season premiered as part of the Planet Connections Theatre Festivity June 5th-28th, 2010. Duncan Pflaster won Outstanding Playwriting for an Adaptation, Revival or Sequel, and Mark Richard Caswell won Outstanding Costume Design in the 2010 Planet Connections Awards. The cast included Eric C. Bailey* as Bottom, Matt Falber as Demetrius, Clara Barton Green as Puck, Rebecca Hirota as Hermia, Tania Jeudy as Fairy Pumpkinseed, Shawn McLaughlin as Lysander, Ryan G. Metzger* as Oberon, Kelly Nichols as Helena, and Michelle Ramoni* as Titania. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we reduced our printed program to one half-page of recycled paper.
