Based on A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, Robin Goodfellow is adapted by
Aurand Harris, the most respected theatre for young audiences playwright in the U.S. Focusing on the battle of wits between King Oberon and his Queen Titania, the play lifts the character Puck from Shakespeare's pages and renames him Robin Goodfellow. This mischievous sprite assists Oberon in a grand scheme against the queen, but he also plays his own pranks on a troop of actors. Through Robin's tricks, an actor named Bottom is transformed into an ass-headed man, and a spell placed on Queen Titania causes her to fall in love with this peculiarity.
  
The cast includes Peter Vann as Robin Goodfellow, Rona Carter as Bottom, Jamie Farmer as Queen Titania, Henry Haggard as Peter Quince, Patrick Waller as Cobweb and David Compton as King Oberon.
