Sidney J. Burgoyne will read the stage directions. Casting by Tara Rubin / Louis DiPaolo.

In PUCK’D, Shakespeare's four young lovers from A Midsummer Night’s Dream are now middle-aged, unhappily married, and chasing after their own teenage kids – who have impetuously fled into the enchanted woods to elope. As they shift from prose to rhyming couplets in iambic-ish pentameter, the four aging lovers once again fall under the forest's spell, must face their fears and, with youthful passions rekindled, decide whether to evolve together or apart. Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, PUCK’D proves that even the most magical marriages require "returning to the woods" to grow.
