A Midsummer Night's Dream
Dec 4, 2026–Jan 10, 2027
Harman Hall
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Simon Godwin
“The course of true love never did run smooth.”
Lives are thrown topsy-turvy when four young Athenians flee into a forest ruled by mischievous fairies hell-bent on sowing confusion and merriment. Add a mysterious love potion, a befuddled group of amateur actors, and the miraculous transformation of a man into a donkey and you have Shakespeare’s most magical romantic comedy. Simon Godwin directs this joyous production, surrounding the acting company with eye-popping puppetry directed and designed by Basil Twist (My Neighbour Totoro) and featured puppets built by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
