A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
by William Shakespeare
April 23 - May 3, 2015
Harriet S. Jorgensen Theatre
Directed by Dale AJ Rose
The season ends with William Shakespeare’s most popular comedy, an imaginative and fantastic romp about love and its many complications. As the Duke of Athens prepares to wed his Amazonian queen, four lovers flee from their overbearing parents into an enchanted forest, where they become unknowingly embroiled in the battle between high-spirited sprites Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the faeries. The delightfully, madcap antics of Shakespeare’s cast of characters provides a magical exploration of love, lust and marriage illustrates just how other worldly love can be.
