William Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS' DREAM

"You are always insane when you are in love."

(Sigmund Freud)

by William Shakespeare
Directed by Barbara J. Cannon

Four young lovers meet in a moonlit forest inhabited by magical creatures in William Shakespeare's most popular romantic comedy, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. Aided by the mischievous hobgoblin named Puck, the King and Queen of the fairies complicate the romantic entanglements of the star-crossed lovers in this fantastic and lyrical journey known as one of the Bard's most performed works.
