A Midsummer night’s dream

“Give me your hands, if we be friends…”

Sparkling with the festive spirit of the holiday season, Shakespeare’s magical romantic comedy is a delectable treat for the entire family. A snowy Athens gives way to the warm and colorful dream of a midsummer forest as Shakespeare’s best-loved characters are consumed by the absurd chaos of love and the joy of friendship. Young love collides with a fairy feud and a bumbling group of amateur theatricals in the most warm-hearted play in the English language. An enchanting story of love, marriage, and magic, this holiday “Dream” will fill you with happiness and hope.

For the first time in CST’s history, two plays will be performed in repertory by one masterfully talented Chicago Shakespeare Company of actors. Under the creative leadership of CST Artistic Director Edward Hall and taking its inspiration from Shakespeare’s own company and CST’s roots as the Shakespeare Repertory, a company of 14 actors perform both The Winter’s Tale and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, two of Shakespeare’s most beguiling fairy tales. This double header of productions makes for a thrilling theatrical experience, with two beautiful plays exploring the formidable power of love, laughter and forgiveness.
