Santa Cruz Shakespeare invites you to experience Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, under the trees and stars of the Audrey Stanley Grove in Santa Cruz’s DeLaveaga Park this summer. One of Shakespeare’s most famous and beloved works, Midsummer is a perfect evening of theatre, filled with magic, love, wild laughter and…an ass. In the mystical forest of Arden, the world is pulled apart and woven back together over the course of a single miraculous night. Fleeing lovers and earnest workingmen stumble into the magic of a fairy kingdom at war with itself. Hijinks and heartbreak ensue. Most famously, the amateur actor Nick Bottom is transformed into an ass before becoming the lover of the Fairy Queen, Titania. But by morning, all is set aright, and we return to Athens for a trio of marriages and an amateur performance for the ages. One of the funniest plays ever written, Midsummer celebrates our deep need to gather together, sacrifice and celebrate.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream runs July 13 - August 31, with Opening Night on July 18.
