A Midsummer Night's Dream

Shakespeare’s most popular and most often performed comedy around the world, this play has something for everyone!
About this Event

Set in Athens, A Midsummer Night’s Dream simultaneously follows the preparations for the royal marriage of Duke Theseus—The LawGiver & Hippolyta—Queen of the Amazons, the romantic struggles & predicaments of four young lovers lost in a magical forest, a rift in the fairy world between immortals Oberon & Titania, the zany, chaotic adventures of hard-working Athenian laborers—one of whom, Bottom, gets magically transformed into a donkey, and a very mischievous fairy called Puck. All must fall apart before it can be knit back together and harmony restored.

Midsummer embraces multiple worlds, mythical celebrities, magical creatures, domineering parents, young lovers and working class Athenians attempting to perform a tragic love story. Shakespeare’s most popular and most often performed comedy around the world, this play has something for everyone! Shakespeare & Company strives for heart-rousing, soul-stirring and crowd-pleasing dramatic experiences.

Our 90-minute production is lively and fast-paced with an emphasis on language, pleasure in playing and the welcoming relationship between the actors and the audience.
