Be enchanted.
FREE performance.
April 26, 2011 @ 12:30 p.m. ▪ KCC Auditorium
Gods mix with mortals, a feuding king and queen unleash magical practical jokes on each other, spells yield improbable love affairs, and a band of comical tradesmen wander into an enchanted wood to be transformed in the most unlikely of ways.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, William Shakespeare’s most popular and enduring comedy, spins a fanciful and fantastical tale of love, complete with nymphs, fairies, and – of course –
those misguided humans. This production offers a fresh twist, making the play relevant to today’s audience. The woods glow in the dark and fairies dance to electronica, setting the scene for the wonderful and silly vagaries of love.
Performers are from the National Players, based in Olney, Md. Event sponsored by KCC’s Division of Humanities and Social Sciences.
