It's going to sound goofy, but all 3 actors playing one part were onstage, holding a sheet with the character's name, and they took turns. It really worked onstage. There were two guys and a girl playing Oberon, and when it was her turn one guy lifted her on his back while she spoke. The Pucks held hands and messed with each other, and the two Titanias shared the sheet like it was a royal robe. This was the showcase for an extremely small Shakespeare academy type thing in Santa Fe many years ago, and I've never forgotten it. It was fascinating to see three different interps simultaneously. No set, no props, just the actors and the words.
