Threatened with death if she marries against her father’s wishes, Hermia elopes with her lover, Lysander, pursued by rival suitor Demetrius and his spurned admirer, Helena. In the enchanted woods, love’s lunacy reaches its giddiest heights – both for the bewildered couples and for an aspiring actor transformed into the unlikely consort of a fairy queen.

Meddling fairies, star-crossed lovers and bumbling tradesmen delight in Shakespeare’s beloved comedy. Oberon, King of the Fairies, is upset with his Queen Titania and he commands Puck to produce a powerful nectar that causes love at first sight. The mischievous sprite arranges for Titania to fall for Bottom, a simple weaver (now transformed into an ass) while entangling the affections of four runaway lovers.

Bard’s silver anniversary season revisits the hugely popular 2006 production of Dream, with Dean Paul Gibson back to direct.
