A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM

Fools, fairies and folly are the celebrated themes of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, know n for its lilting dramatic poetry and wonderfully creative characters. Set against the backdrop of a royal wedding, order and chaos play at odds through the adventures of four Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors who become lost in a moonlit forest inhabited by a troupe of mischievous fairies.
