"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, Where oxslip and nodding violet grows, There sleeps Titania sometime of the night, Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight…"

Lovers, fairies and the worst actors in Athens find themselves roaming an enchanted forest, “ill-met by moonlight” in Shakespeare’s most magical comedy. Between the Mechanicals’ hilarious rehearsals of Pyramus and Thisbee and the prima-donna antics of Bottom the Weaver, we see young lovers chase eachother through the trees and fairies dupe one another with spells and enchantments. Fusing the magic of Shakespeare with ballet and an original score, this production will leave you laughing, tingling, and wondering what’s lurking in the shadows...
