Will on the Hill 2009 presents

A Midsession Night’s Dream by Peter Byrne

Monday, May 4, 2009 Performance begins at 7:30 p.m.

Will on the Hill 2009 will once again welcome Congressmen, Senators, and other Washington insiders onto the Company’s stage to perform scenes from Shakespeare infused with comedic references to contemporary politics.  This year’s show, “A Midsession Night’s Dream,” follows the path of a young Senate page who falls asleep during a filibuster and is visited by the spirit of William Shakespeare.  Together, like a modern-day Puck and Oberon, the two travel throughout the capital, using Shakespeare’s imagination and the page’s insider savvy to resolve conflicts, expose hypocrisy and magically transform Washington into a very Shakespearean utopia. Will on the Hill pays tribute to the unique dynamic of our city and provides a wonderful way to engage new audiences in the arts and support the Company’s artistic, education and community outreach programs. 

Performance only tickets are available for $50 by calling the box office at (202) 547-1122 or toll free at (877) 487-8849.
