SYNOPSIS:
Generally considered the most famous of Shakespeare’s comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream has been enchanting audiences for generations. Four young lovers, looking to escape their parents’ tyrannical rule, flee to a magical forest inhabited by two feuding fairies. Chaos ensues when the most mischievous fairy, Puck, makes a gravely comical mistake. Throw in a bumbling group of day laborers who fancy themselves famous actors and you’ve got yourself a party. Join Phamaly’s triumphant return to the DCPA with its first ever fully produced Shakespearian comedy – A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
EXTRA FUN:
Phamaly’s production will be set in the 1920s. Come dressed in your best 1920s attire for a *roaring* good time!
