One of Shakespeare’s most loved plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, is a fun comedy, filled with magic and mischief.  On the eve of the Duke’s wedding, four Athenian teens run away to the forest while a group of tradespeople rehearse a play as part of the celebrations. Unknowingly, they wander into a feud between the fairy king and queen. A fairy named Puck makes both the teenaged boys fall in love with the same girl and turns one of the tradespeople into a donkey to play a trick on the fairy queen. In the end, the magic is reversed; the two young couples reconcile, the Duke is married, the tradespeople perform their play and the fairies offer blessings to them all. While the audience is left to consider if it was all a dream!
