Shakespeare in South Park presents A Midsummer Night's Dream
Lord what fools these mortals be...
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare in South Park Aug 18, 19 & 20
Shakespeare in South Park launches its 14th season with one of the Bard's best-loved comedies, "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Lysander and Hermia flee Athens into the forest to escape Hermia being forced to wed Demetrius. Demetrius follows, himself pursued by Helena, who loves him. In the same forest, a group of unlettered tradesmen gather to secretly rehearse a play they hope to perform at the Duke of Athens' upcoming marriage. The young lovers and the would-be actors become--mistakenly and intentionally--unwitting victims of a battle waged between King Oberon and Queen Titania in the invisible fairy kingdom. Will it all sort out into a happy ending?
