About the playwright
William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.
His surviving works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems and a few other verses. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
About the play
It's the the wedding of Duke Theseus and his Queen Hippolyta.
But before the celebrations, four star-crossed lovers must sort out their own romantic destinies!
Escaping the law, they elope into a magical forest, followed by their own chaotic passions. In this same wood, a troupe of clumsy actors rehearses a play and mischievous fairies meddle with fate.
Chaos, spells, and mistaken identities will have you laughing in a hilarious and enchanting night where love is lost, found, and transformed in a whirlwind of magic, dreams, and comedy.
Can love survive the enchantment?
