Hamlet Isn't Dead to Present A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
Welcome to Athens, one of the world's oldest cities! In its time this city has seen countless stories of love and betrayal, but none quite like this one. The tangled knot of four young lovers threatens to unravel the difficult preparations of a royal wedding. Elsewhere, a band of would-be actors plan to create the greatest show the world has ever seen. They all descend into the forest, but little do they know that it won't be only filled with mortal beings this night: the faerie king and queen have their own disputes to resolve!
In this production, Hamlet Isn't Dead highlights the lightness and musicality of one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays. Featuring harmonic renditions of classic and modern tunes and an immersive, playful style, this is one show that you won't want to miss! Remember, with Hamlet Isn't Dead, it's theatre you'll love, whether you like it or not.
