A Midsummer Night’s Dream or The Night They Missed the Forest for the Trees

4 Male, 6 Female

Nancy Linehan Charles from Shakespeare Price: $8.25

 

 

  We’re in study hall where just about everyone is doing
everything except studying for tomorrow’s test on A Midsummer
Night’s Dream

That is, until Jessie gets an idea

In this rollicking adaptation of Shakespeare’s play (wherein is examined the adolescent urges of just about everybody), teenagers, fairies, workers and royalty collide in a forest on a summer night and are bedazzled by a prankster

The fairy queen falls in love with an ass, the teens fall in and out (and in) love with each other, six well-meaning goofs stumble into their 15 minutes of fame

While fairies weave magic to bring it all to a happy end as only Shakespeare can conjure the tapestry, and three streetwise storytellers pull the audience at breakneck speed toward the moon-drenched conclusion
