The lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact

Athens is a world of rules and hierarchy; the forest beyond is a realm of magic and transformation. In between stand Shakespeare’s unforgettable characters: noble lovers seeking freedom, hardworking artisans preparing a play, and mischievous fairies eager to meddle in mortal affairs. Created through an ensemble-driven process, this production emphasizes movement, play, and collective storytelling. By building the physical life of each community—from the rigid order of the court to the wild energy of the fairy kingdom—we uncover the humor, humanity, and wonder at the heart of this beloved comedy.
