    A Midsummer Night’s Dream Isa Ka Damgo We were obliged to watch the play entitled A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Isa ka Damgo. Neither the story nor the plays itself are familiar to me. As we were seated on our seats on the second row of the little theatre‚ I noticed that the backdrop had the touch of Filipino folklore.

    Another play where the most favorite characters seem to be male is A Midsummer Nights Dream. While characters like Puck and Bottom stand out as the most personable‚ they themselves are not as involved in the more prominent dramatic events.

These couples consists of: Theseus and Hippolyta
