Shakespeare’s dreamiest romantic comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream is brought to vibrant new life with free performances and activities in green spaces, neighborhood festivals, and events across the city. Now in the 2nd year of the annual free Shakes in the City initiative, join Puck and his feisty fairy band for Shakespeare at his most whimsical and fun—packed into just 45 minutes!
A quartet of love-sick young people are joined by a motley crew of theatricals, a fairy King and Queen in an epic showdown, and a talking donkey to boot. Delight in the exhilaration and hilarity of young love as the chaos of magic and enchantment turns the world upside down. Adapted and originally staged by CST Artistic Director Edward Hall and directed by Christopher Llewyn Ramirez, this Midsummer treat now comes to Chicagoans across the city after a wildly successful run of this adaptation played for students this winter.
