Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand?


      Macbeth, Act II, Scene I

HERMIA

Eylul Berke


 rebellious, young woman, who is willing to sacrifice everything for love. She is a good-natured girl, but she’s not afraid to speak her mind, and can lose her temper on occasion.

LYSANDER

Kenny Holm Johansen


Nobel, young, and in love. He knows exactly who he wants. And who he wants is Hermia. Lysander is very calculated, and immediately has a solution to his and Hermia’s predicament: they could just flee Athens!

HELENA

Signe Goll Rossau


Sweet, hopelessly in love with a foolish man, and perhaps a bit whiny. Helena is trying to be a supportive friend to Hermia, but seeing as the man Helena is in love with, is one of Hermia’s suitors, it’s hard to always be the bigger person.

DEMETRIUS

Philip Fischer


A confused young man, who doesn’t quite know what (or who) he wants. That’s why Egeus’ wishes persuade Demetrius to pursue Hermia. Oftentimes speaks before he thinks, which can make him seem like kind of a dick.

PUCK

Christian Bredvig Fjordside


Trickster is probably the best word to describe Puck. Laughs at the chaos unfolding around him.





OBERON

Alastair Christensen


King of the fairies. Oberon has some marital problems, and thinks the best way to solve them is to … humiliate his wife? Doesn’t take into account that it would mean he’s then causing the very thing he wanted to get back at her for.

TITANIA

Vanja Vukotić


Queen of the fairies. Titania is passionate, caring, and a bit temperamental. Has some marital problems with Oberon, but doesn’t resort to love potions of any kind. When she’s mad, she’s MAD. When she loves, she LOVES.

THESEUS

Alexander Sebastian Martinsen


Just wants to celebrate his upcoming wedding, but everyone keeps coming to him with their problems. “Do as your father says or… Die?! Really? Who wrote these laws? Seems a bit harsh”. Theseus just wants to spend time with his bride-to-be.

HIPPOLYTA

Laura Virginia Nielsen


Queen of the Amazons, and Theseus’ fiancé. Hippolyta is the one who wears the pants in the relationship. Though Theseus’ technically won the war which has led to their marriage, the real battle was to win her heart.

PHILOSTRATE

Cecilie Sloth Madsen


Got stuck with the wedding arrangements. Doesn’t have the faintest idea about flowers, entrées, and is not the biggest fan of Theseus’ fiancé. Philostrate knows one thing though, picking ‘Pyramus and Thisbe’ would not exactly be an attribution to the festivities.

EGEUS

Heine Gade Kristensen


Egeus wants respect from everyone, especially from the daughter Hermia. Lysander once said the wrong thing, and now Egeus is determined he cannot have her.

BOTTOM

Mette Kathrine Hansen


Outgoing, proud, and a bit full of herself - never doubting her right to play all the parts in the play and never doubting Titania’s love. Bottom’s continued need to prove her worth is rooted in a deeper insecurity, not that she realises that


QUINCE

Emmelie Christensen


The poor director who has to keep Bottom in check. Quince knows the play in and out, and knows exactly what he wants, the players however do not exactly follow his directions. Secretly wishes the Duke and Duchess don’t pick their play.

FLUTE

Martin Kær


An absolute sweetheart. Flute is perhaps the only one who sees the talent and intelligence that Bottom brags about. Wants to play a man so he can have a sword, but ends up playing the only female part in the play: Thisbe.

SNOUT

Tenna Sandø Møller


Though Bottom thinks he knows best, Snout might actually be the thinker of the acting troupe. He’s quiet but is actually very excited to be in the play. What he lacks in talent, he makes up for in dedication.

SNUG

Katrine Gaarde Vahlberg


Was forced by Quince to be there because they needed one more member for the play. A bit confused about all the changes, but roles with the punches. Very concerned his part in the play will end up frightening the ladies, so he tones it down a lot. Plays Lion.

STARVELING

Mie Thirup Petersen


Not really sure what’s going on, but is just happy to be in the play. Snout tries to help Starveling without luck. Starveling is not much concerned about the play, and doesn’t really bother to learn his lines properly. Plays Moonshine.

PEASEBLOSSOM

Kateřina Kourková


One of Titania’s fairies. PeaseBlossom is interested in Titania and Bottom’s “relationship”, and finds Bottom’s appearance hilarious.




MUSTARDSEED

Jens Damborg Jensen


One of Titania’s fairies. Mustardseed is so over having to attend to Bottom. Suspects some interference has happened for this unlikely match to have happened.

COBWEB

Julie Freya Schødt


One of Titania’s fairies, and Moth’s sibling. Not a big fan of doing stuff. Has a very “Puck”-like mindset, which means Cobweb just wants to have fun.

MOTH

Magnus Pagh


The last of Titania's fairies. Want's to do a good job, but is somehow always ignored by his fellows.

TOADSTOOL

Heine Gade Kristensen


One of Oberon's faires, acting both as a thief and a goof.

NIGHTSHADE

Cecilie Sloth Madsen


The other of Oberon's faires, who is much nicer than her name suggests.
