The UofR Theatre Arts Department Presents:

A Midsummer Night's Dream

By William Shakespeare

Nov. 18 - 21, 2004

Directed by Steven Shade
Designed by Nephelie Andonyadis

A comedy of cosmic proportions celebrating the struggle for love, magic, and happy endings.

In the world of the City, a determined daughter and a rigid father clash over her choice of husband. In the Forest world, the King and Queen of the Fairies engage in a spiteful brawl, angering the Moon and setting off far-reaching cosmic disturbances. From the world of the Laborers, a group of uneducated tradesmen aspire to be "made men" by producing a rough-hewn piece of theatre.

These worlds collide under the watchful eye of fairy influence, and a mid-summer madness ensues sparking the transformative power of love, art, and imagination.
