Magical and Captivating. One of the Bard’s most popular comedies. The marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta is complicated by the conflict among four lovers and whom they love. A group of amateur actors rehearsing a play for the wedding is added to the mix as both groups wind up outside of Athens in a forest full of fairies who manipulate the humans and have their own domestic intrigue. What absurdly comes to be as the plots progress ends with all being well and the suggestion that it all may have been nothing but a dream.
By William Shakespeare / Director John Maness
