A Midsummer Night's Dream
Shakespeare’s classic comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, is reawakened in this breathless production brimming with magic, mirth and mayhem.
Love is in the air in Athens – and it’s contagious. Besides the royal wedding, which is just days away, there are young lovers dreaming of enchanted futures together. Hermia and Lysander are besotted with one another, while Helena adores Demetrius. The only snag is that Demetrius loves Hermia – and he’s got Hermia’s father on his side. So nobody is happy. Shakespeare wasn’t kidding when he said the course of true love never did run smooth.
This pared-back production from Bell Shakespeare is quick as a shadow. Fast, funny and family-friendly, this is A Midsummer Night’s Dream reimagined.
