A Midsummer Night’s Dream

A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare

On the shortest night of the year, the magical and mortal worlds collide. What could possibly go wrong? Shakespeare gives us a clue: “The course of true love never did run smooth.” In this beloved tale of mischief and merriment, four stories are cleverly woven together: the marriage of the Athenian duke to the Amazon queen; a spat between the fairy king and queen; the follies of four lovers; and the hilarious antics of amateur actors staging a play. When the exhilarating night in the forest finally resolves to (almost) everyone’s satisfaction, a new day of love, joy and reconciliation dawns. Brimming with wit and wisdom, Shakespeare’s most popular play will enchant you.

This performance will take place in Robert E. Will Theatre at the URI Fine Arts Center.
