“Four nights will quickly dream away the time.” And in four nights, the world turns upside down. Young lovers flee into the woods where the King and Queen of the fairies battle over a child, and a group of well-meaning laborers bumbles through rehearsals for a play. Soon the fairies’ magic leads to chaos, with couples changing partners and the Queen in love with an ass. Shakespeare’s greatest comedy triumphantly entwines passion, poetry and the lunacy of love.
People’s Light and Theatre Company presents Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, directed by Nick Olcott.
