About the Play:
Our play unfolds one long night in the middle of summer, in a forest where nothing but magic and mischief are a foot. There’s unrest in fairyland as Titania and Oberon’s fighting has escalated to the point of disaster for all other fairies. A band of actors are trying to put on a play but find trouble at every turn. And unbeknownst to everyone, merry Puck is weaving a web of naughtiness all for his own entertainment. Can the actors get their play together for the fairies? Will there be peace in fairyland or will Puck get his way all on this Midsummer’s Day? Based on William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream this modern retelling with modern text is one not to be missed
