By William Shakespeare
Adapted & Directed by Jennifer Hunter
Shakespeare’s most enchanting comedy gets a bold new twist—set against the smoky skies and brass-bound wonder of the Industrial Revolution. Welcome to a steampunk-inspired dreamworld, where steam power meets fairy power, and nothing is as it seems.
On the shortest—and strangest—night of the year, four wildly entertaining tales collide: a royal wedding amid the rise of industry, a feud between the mechanical-minded fairy king and his fierce queen, young lovers thrown into a whirlwind of romantic confusion, and a troupe of amateur actors cobbling together a play with more ambition than talent.
Expect love, mischief, and a touch of steam-powered magic. This is A Midsummer Night’s Dream like you’ve never seen it before.
Recommended for ages 6 and above.
