Character Information
The fairies act as a kind of greek chorus. This may influence casting decisions. May be performed with a cast as small as 8, or fully cast at 15. Additional ensemble as Lords, ladies, fairies and magic folk, and pedestrians in the present may also be added for larger productions.
I encourage colorblind casting.
