Purdue Dept. of Theatre Presents: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Matinee)

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

In the woods outside Athens, two pairs of lovers sneak away from the city. The king and queen of fairyland battle over custody of an orphan boy. A group of local artisans rehearse their tragedy, “Pyramus and Thisbe,” which they plan to perform at the Duke’s wedding. Through it all, the impish Puck concocts a love potion that misdirects characters’ passion and desire; the hijinks that ensue invite us to ask what it means to love and be in love.

This show will take place in Hansen Theatre located in Pao Hall.
