About This Show

A perfect introduction to the Bard–live on stage at Shakespeare’s home on Navy Pier! Experience all the romance and excitement of a full-length production in this 75-minute abridgement of A Midsummer Night’s Dream that the Chicago Tribune proclaimed to be “rousing entertainment.”

Narrated by a rapping, hip-hop fairy named Puck, this fast-paced production tells the story of four young lovers’ journey through an enchanted forest. After every performance, the actors stay on stage for a question-and-answer discussion with the audience.
