“Directors Ann Bartley and Jeff Robleto create a faithful and funny version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Wilmington Drama League. The ability of the Wilmington Drama League to present classic works such as this is a testament to their artistic commitment. The staging of a Shakespearean comedy this funny is a testament to their artistic skill.” – Tom Butler, Wilmington News Journal
Overview
Falling in love has enough ups and downs for mere mortals, but when mischievous fairies get involved, it’s downright tumultuous. In the timeless comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare shows love gone awry through weaving together the mortal world, ancient Athens, and fairy magic. Enjoy the witty, shifty Puck mixing things up for the earnest quartet of confused young lovers, and watch Bottom, the comedically clueless aspiring thespian, become the object of affection for the glorious fairy queen Titania.
