These costumes (or vegetations) suggest the allegorical role of Titania and Oberon as symbols of natural sexuality. By analogy, a reviewer notes of Hermia and Helena, "Both girls lost their dresses at an early stage of their progress through the wood." (Robert Cushman, Plays and Players 8.70) Irena Mayeska, Titania; Darryl Kavann, Oberon; Richard Digby Day, director; Mark Negin, costumes. Donald Cooper : photographer
