Good afternoon‚ I wanted to thank you for picking me for the role of Tatania in A Midsummer Night Dream; however‚ the image you betray her as‚ needs to improve. Tatania is a strong‚ independent woman – not the soft-spoken feeble girl. In act two‚ scene one‚ when Tatania and Oberon argue about who should have the ownership of the changeling boy‚ Tatania sticks to her opinions of having the boy “…Not for thy fairy kingdom. —Fairies‚ away!
