A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Tuesday, October 21 @ 8 pm$20 Adults / $10 StudentsBoni Belle Brooks SeriesPresented by Warehouse Theatre of Greenville

Love is splendid – except when it’s completely ridiculous! Shakespeare’s most beloved comedy examines the complexities of what we do for love. Longtime friends become teenaged rivals, the king and queen of the fairies behave like fools and wreak havoc on the very laws of nature itself, and a band of tradesmen turned actors find more than they bargain for in the forest. Join Puck and the rest of these indelible characters in a fast-paced race to untangle Cupid’s knots.
