Hedgerow Theatre & Mauckingbird Theatre Company team up to present a reimagining of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as a modern tale of young love.

Athens is an elite boarding school, where four students find themselves in a supernaturally heightened love tangle. Hermia is being forced by her father to marry Demetrius, a young man in her class. But she is already in love with Lysander, a young woman in her class.

Meanwhile, her best friend -a young man named Helena- is smitten with Demetrius. When the four schoolmates run off into the forest, full of mischievous fairies and beguiling visions, mayhem and surprising discoveries meet them at every turn.

...With the help of a little magic, of course.
