A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare
Co-Directed by Jared Sheldon and Sara BenBella
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM was 'Lou Recommended'!
On a Midsummer’s night, four young lovers 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, their paths are crossed by Bottom, Quince and their friends presenting a play within a play. 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.
