Penfold in the Park is back with a joyful reimagining of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream placing all 21 characters in the hands of 4 virtuosic performers for a free night of fun for the whole family!
In this most beloved of Shakespeare’s comedies, Lysandra loves Hermia, Hermia loves Lysandra, Demetrius loves Hermia, Helenus loves Demetrius, and no one loves Helenus (poor Helenus). When the members of this tangled love quadrangle lose themselves in a magical forest one midsummer evening, a band of mischievous fairies playing loose with a certain love potion catapult the romance, confusion, and fun to an enchanted new level! Add a pair of warring fairy courts, a donkey head, and a troupe of enthusiastically inept actors – then place all 21 roles in the capable hands of 4 virtuosic actors – and you’ll be howling along with the characters, “Lord, what fools these mortals be!”
