A BELL SHAKESPEARE PRODUCTION
the dream
by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Bell Shakespeare’s Co-Artistic Director, Peter Evans reawakens Shakespeare’s classic A Midsummer Night’s
Dream with a breathless 90-minute production that amplifies the magic, mirth and mayhem.
Love is in the air in Athens — and it’s contagious. Besides the royal wedding, which is just days away, there are
young lovers dreaming of contented futures together. Hermia and Lysander are besotted with one another, while
Helena adores Demetrius. The only snag is that Demetrius loves Hermia — and he’s got Hermia’s father on his
side. Shakespeare wasn’t kidding when he said the course of true love never ran smooth.
