William Shakespeare's
A Midsummer Night's Dream
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is arguably William Shakespeare’s most popular comedy. The plot focuses on four parallel stories: the confusing adventures of four young lovers, the engagement of the Duke of Athens to the Amazonian Queen, a group of amateur actors, and the marital problems of the Fairy King and Queen.
To escape an arranged marriage, two of the lovers elope into the enchanted forest while the other pair, at odds with one another, follow in pursuit. Puck, a mischievous imp, gets involved but ultimately makes matters worse with the help of a poisoned flower. Chaos ensues when everyone’s world gets turned upside down to which Lysander laments, “The course of true love never did run smooth.” Will love win out in the end? Come to the fall play to find out!
