A Midsummer Night's Dream at A Noise Within

A Noise Within presents its delightful yet deeply resonant production of Shakespeare’s most enchanting comedy. When two pairs of mixed-up lovers and a troupe of amateur players stumble into the forest of feuding fairies, reality is upended as chaos and mischief abound. Anything can and does happen in this tumultuous, dreamlike world.
