A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, and with good reason: the costumes are great, the lines are funny, and the story is easy to follow.

Follow as the four young Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors enter a moonlit forest, where mischievous fairies await, and humorous chaos ensues.
