A Midsummer Night’s Dream
A Shakespeare in the City Production in collaboration with The Newtowne Players
First performed around 1596, Shakespeare’s comic fantasy of four lovers who find themselves bewitched by fairies is a sly reckoning with love, jealousy and marriage. For centuries it’s been one of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays.
Four Athenians run away to the forest only to have the fairy, Puck, make both of the boys fall in love with the same girl. The four run through the forest pursuing each other, while Puck helps his master play a trick on the fairy queen. In the end, Puck reverses the magic, and the two couples reconcile and marry.
There will be NO CASH SALES for this performance. Tickets bought online will be the ONLY tickets accepted.
Adults $18, Seniors/Students/Military $15, Children $13 PURCHASE TICKETS
Performances take place on the State House lawn at 7:30 p.m. on August 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, and 20.

Enso Kitchen will be open during the performances. Entrees available until showtime, light refreshments available during intermission.
