A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
JULY 17-27
THE FLEA THEATER, NY
The lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact.
Four lovers escape the confines of the city to a forest ruled by battling fairies. A royal wedding is prepared after a brutal war, and an amateur troupe rehearses a play after a long day of work.
As these worlds intertwine in delightful chaos, characters navigate truths and illusions about who they are and what they value. Though arguably Shakespeare’s best-known comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream asks us to consider profound questions about the nature of love and art.
