A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1597. It includes the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals), who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play, originally performed by an all-male cast, now meets its opposite as women of 2016 fill the play’s dynamic roles.

The breakdown: Lysander and Hermia love each other. Helena loves Demetrius who used to love Helena but now loves Hermia. Hermia’s father, Egeus, wants Hermia to marry Demetrius. The duke, Theseus, urges Egeus’s will and thus a complicated love tangle ensues all on a Midsummer night. Add in some feuding fairies, mechanicals, fights, dance breaks and the 1980s for a Dream ride!
