A Midsummer Night’s Dream – a play of magical mischief, languishing lovers, feuding fairies and an amdram performance is the ideal way to welcome back live performance to Winchester. The Chesil Theatre has the bonus of performing in the gardens of Wolvesey Palace as the first production in The Summer Festival. The play opens on July 13 after the most unusual rehearsal period. Actors have met in small groups in a field in the coldest May for decades. June brought warmer weather for director, Sarah Hawkins, to lead the ensemble. Such was the desire of Chesil members to get back to the fun of working together, that this is a cast of great depth. Even the cameo parts are taken by experienced actors who have appeared in major roles.

Even before Donald Trump’s election victory took newsrooms nationwide by surprise, audiences criticized journalists as being disconnected from the communities they cover, especially poor and working-class communities.
For many reporters, there’s not much time during the work week for building sources and exploring neighborhoods because their job responsibilities have grown so much in recent decades. But journalists themselves have changed as the field has evolved into an elite profession that draws well-educated men and women, many of whom come from middle-class families, went to the same colleges and move in the same social circles.
