A Midsummer Night's Dream

A Midsummer Night's Dream
April 12 - June 22, 2008 (Opening April 18)
Wurtele Thrust Stage
by William Shakespeare
directed by Joe Dowling
More than a decade since its critically acclaimed run on Vineland Place, Joe Dowling’s landmark production of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, complete with original music and flying fairies, makes a triumphant debut in the Guthrie’s new home. Weaving three stories of love, magic and perception in a moonlit forest on a midsummer night, Shakespeare’s fantastical play remains an audience favorite.
