A Midsummer Night's Dream at University of Minnesota Twin Cities

A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare (Feb. 22-Mar. 4) conjures a world steeped in fairy magic—what is real and what is imagined? Is it a dream or a nightmare? “Contagious fogs” fall on the land, rivers overflow, the seasons alter all because the loving couple, the fairy queen and king, are quarreling. Neither reason nor law applies in this fairy realm, as Bottom the Weaver observes, “Love and reason keep little company.” Faculty member Barbra Berlovitz, a founder and former artistic director of the celebrated Theatre de le Jeune Lune directs on the Stoll Thrust stage.
