On the eve of a royal wedding in Athens, four young lovers fly to the woods in pursuit of their hearts’ desires, and a troupe of amateur actors meet to rehearse a play. As night falls, the spirits of the woods meddle in their plans and all are transformed by a dream... or was it a dream?  Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a hymn to the power of human imagination – in art, in life, and in love. 

Produced by Apocalyptic Artists Ensemble in collaboration with Red Bull Theater, A Midsummer Night’s Dream toured New York City Middle and High Schools, providing students with a live theatrical experience. Employing minimal design and vibrant music, and supported by in-school workshops, a company of actors transformed familiar school spaces – classrooms, cafeterias, auditoriums - into Athens, and the magical woods beyond.
