In a modern verse translation by Jeff Whitty
In partnership with Play On Shakespeare
Directed by Sara Bruner
The woods are the stage for a hilarious whirlwind of mismatched love, mischievous fairies and theatrical blundering. Shakespeare weaves a comedic tapestry where love’s arrows fly wild, mistaken identities create chaos and laughter reigns supreme. Transformed hearts and second chances dance under the moonlight, casting a spell that resonates with audiences across generations.
