This is Shakespeare’s most popular comedy. The story follows the fortunes of a quartet of lovers who are lured into a forest by fairies who trick them with a magic potion that forces them to fall in love with the first person they see. The Queen of Fairies falls in love with a donkey. Shakespeare explores the idea that love is random, that we are in love with ourselves rather than the person we supposedly adore, that the eyes deceive us as to a person’s true worth and the consequences are sometimes tragic, but often comic. Time: Dinner – 18h00 Performance of Play – 19h30 Cost: Dinner CHF: 35.- to CHF: 40.- pp Tickets AVS CHF:37.- Adult CHF: 45.- Please note that for the Château de Chillon a new municipal tax of 15 % is charged on the ticket price.
