Photo Flash: A Midsummer Night's Dream At Orlando Shakespeare
By: Gabrielle Sierra Jan. 28, 2011
A mischievous fairy, Puck, leads two pairs of young lovers on a wild and merry chase through the woods outside of Athens. Throw in feuding fairies and a troupe of bumbling actors, and you've got a sparkling comedy with something for everyone! A Midsummer Night's Dream is part of Orlando Shakespeare Theater's Darden Signature Series which continues on February 9 in repertory with an engaging adaptation of Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice, followed by Charlie Bethel's one-man rendition of Beowulf, the Theater for Young Audiences production of Alexander, Who's Not...Going to Move and closing in April 2011 with the Florida premiere of the Pulitzer-Prize Nominated Comedy Charm.
