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.
