A Midsummer Night's Dream September 20, 2009

The Stage Door Theatre's fabulous season opens with Shakespeare’s own “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” – a stage adaptation by the talented, award winning director David Thompson. Join us for this complex contraption that involves two sets of couples (Hermia & Lysander and Helena & Demetrius), whose romantic cross-purposes are complicated still further by their entrance into the play's fairyland woods where the King and Queen of the Fairies (Oberon and Titania) preside and the impish folk character of Puck plies his trade. Less subplot than a brilliant satirical device, another set of characters—Bottom the weaver and his bumptious band of "rude mechanicals"—stumble into the main doings when they go into the same enchanted woods to rehearse a play that is very loosely (and comically) based on the myth of Pyramus and Thisbe, their hilarious home-spun piece.

All ages welcome! Don't miss this magical show!
