EMU Theatre for the Young Tour
FALL 2024 TOUR - HIGH SCHOOL
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Join us for this 60-Minute, full energy performance of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
On Midsummer’s Night, the real and fairy worlds collide. Four young lovers, faced with the prospect of unhappy marriage or worse, flee the court of Athens and stumble into an enchanted forest. Nearby, a group of amateur actors rehearse a play to celebrate an upcoming royal wedding. As these mere mortals cross paths with a warring fairy King and Queen, chaos reigns in the natural world. The lines between reality and illusion start to blur and no-one but mischievous Puck knows what is true and what is magic. Let Shakespeare’s captivating comedy transport you to the most magical of midsummer nights.
​
Performed in the round, with a cast of twelve, this cutting of Midsummer is true to Shakespeare's text with contemporary costume design.
