Fall in Love with Shakespeare: AMidsummer Night's Dream

stupid. Maybe you don’t see any relevance to modern life in the wacky doings of
some fusty old Englishman’s fictional goofballs. Surprise! Let Suz introduce you to
the Bard and his works, which are just as vibrantly alive, thrilling, exciting, horrifying,
surprising and hysterically funny as they were to their original Elizabethan audiences.
Meet a royal court of Faeries, an ancient Greek hero and a sweetly endearing group
of dimwits, not to mention a quartet of love-struck teenagers, all stumbling about
the woods on a moonlit midsummer night. You will come away utterly enchanted.
