Shakespeare's: A Midsummer Night's Dream (abridged)

​

Our young actors' production, adapted and directed by

Compass Rose Theater's Artistic Director Madeline Austin

Assistant Directors: Anne Marie Drew & Joe Thompson 

​​

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is Shakespeare at his most playfully chaotic. Four young lovers wander into the woods, where a group of fairies—who really should not be in charge of anything—decide to intervene in their relationships.

 

Thanks to one well-meaning but unreliable sprite, everyone ends up briefly in love with the wrong person. Meanwhile, a troupe of very sincere (and very untalented) actors attempts to stage a play. ​ By morning, things are mostly sorted out, dignity is lightly bruised, and the whole experience feels a bit like a dream no one can quite explain.

​

This interactive, fun, outdoor production will be staged at Historic London Town & Gardens in Edgewater, MD, produced in partnership with Compass Rose Theater.​​​

​

Bring a blanket or reserve a chair. (Patrons can bring their own chair and water bottles.) The whole family can enjoy this delightful outdoor Shakespeare experience.
