A Midsummer Night’s Dream
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Angus Thorburn
“The course of true love never did run smooth…”
On a midsummer night, four young lovers—embroiled in a love quadrangle—escape the constraints of the city and flee into the woods just outside Athens. There, the line between the real world and the fairy realm begins to blur. Throw in a pair of feuding magical monarchs, a shapeshifting hobgoblin, and a troupe of amateur actors, and they’re in for a wild, wild night.
Full of live music, comic confusion, and the messy, transformative power of love (with a dash of potent potion), the Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble’s production of one of Shakespeare’s greatest comedies is sure to warm even the coldest of hearts this winter.
