A Midsummer Night's Dream at Forest Meadows Amphitheatre

Marin Shakespeare Company continues its 2012 summer festival season with "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Robert Currier directs this outdoor production which transports the action to the romantic shores of mystical Hawaii where the scent of hibiscus and twang of ukuleles will permeate Shakespeare's story of lunatics, lovers and poets. Directed by Robert Currier
