A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

Shakespeare's most loved comedy asks: What happens when four foolish lovers and a bunch of wannabe actors get lost in the forest? Well, when the forest is the meeting place of the King and Queen of the fairies, who can't resist meddling in the affairs of mortals, magic and mayhem ensues. Luckily, in spite of ass-heads, love spells, and slapstick, every man has his maid, the play is preferred, and everyone lives happily ever after.

About the Company: Mortal Folly Theatre

Mortal Folly Theatre exists to provide a training ground for actors looking to further their experience in Classical Theatre. As a cellist cannot improvise a concerto, so we believe that actors cannot fully realize themselves as storytellers through intuition alone; they must embrace the process - the work - as whole-heartedly as the performance. Honing their technique with the instrument - in an actor's case, themselves - is absolutely essential, and can only be achieved through both dedication and passion for the material. We aspire to create an educational experience where Classical texts are accessible, inspiring, and provocative, and the quality of performance is commensurate with the level of commitment.  Mortal Folly is a sponsored artist of The Field (www.thefield.org).
