The Seattle Shakespeare Company presents "A Midsummer Night's Dream" By William Shakespeare and  Directed by Vanessa Miller.

A bit of glittering Vegas-pixie dust is sprinkled over lovers and fools alike in this casino-themed take on Shakespeare's most popular comedy. The stakes are high for fairy rulers Oberon and Titania as they gamble with love and power, drawing two sets of mortal lovers and a handyman/actor called Bottom into their wicked game. The wild card in this stacked deck is Puck who magically muddles the romance and comic confusion to dizzying heights.
 

From July 12th through August 3rd  in  parks throughout King, Pierce and Snohomish counties.

The production is free and open to the public.  You will not need reservations or tickets but we do recommend arriving at least 20 minutes before the start of the show to secure a good spot on the lawn.
