A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Thalia Pearce
On a Midsummer’s night, June 22-25, two young couples find themselves wrapped in the dream-like arms of an enchanted forest where sprites lurk and fairies rule. While a feuding Fairy King and Queen are at war, chief mischief-maker Puck is on-hand to ensure that the course of true love is anything but smooth, and games of fantasy, love and dreams ensue in Shakespeare’s most beguiling comedy. For All Ages.
