A Midsummer Night's Dream (Immersive Standing)

Why watch A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Demetrius is set to marry Hermia—except Hermia loves Lysander, and Demetrius is actually obsessed with Hermia’s best friend, Helena. When the four young lovers flee into the woods to chase love on their own terms, they stumble into a world ruled by mischievous fairies and magical mischief. As spells are cast and identities confused, nothing and no one remains untouched by the forest’s enchantment.
