In this rapturous, fresh take on one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, a mischievous fairy creates chaos for four young lovers and a troupe of amateur actors in an enchanted forest. Bursting with mirth, music, magic, and mayhem, this transformation comes to life with an electric cast of New York-based artists.
