Hermia loves Lysander and Helena loves Demetrius – but Demetrius is supposed to be marrying Hermia… When the Duke of Athens tries to enforce the marriage, the lovers take refuge in the woods and wander into the midst of a dispute between the king and queen of the fairies. William Shakespeare put some of his most dazzling dramatic poetry at the service of this teasing, glittering, hilarious and amazingly inventive comedic play, whose seriousness is only fleetingly glimpsed beneath its dream-like surface.
Internationally renowned director Ethan McSweeny’s stunning “ghost light” production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, set in the ruins of an abandoned theatre, intermingles dream and reality, shadow and spectacle, mysterious metamorphoses and literal flights of fancy in a feast for the imagination.
Don't miss this must-see classic filled with love, magic and wonder marking the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare!
Performed in English, with surtitles in Chinese and Portuguese.
Duration: approximately 3 hours, including one interval
