(MADSION, NJ- September 13, 2014)—Fairleigh Dickinson University students in the Visual and Performing Arts Department will be performing the Theatre Department’s latest production, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, one of William Shakespeare’s most famous comedies.
Perhaps the most popular and magical of all of Shakespeare's comedies, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM weaves between the real world of Athens Greece and the magical fairy kingdom in the forest outside of Athens. The play humorously celebrates the erratic whims of love and fancy. The approaching wedding festivities of Theseus, Duke of Athens, and his bride-to-be, Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, are delightfully crisscrossed with the unpredictable romances of two young pairs of Athenian lovers, a fateful rivalry between the King and Queen of the Fairies and the theatrical aspirations of a bumbling troupe of Athenian laborers. It all ends happily in wedding- night revelry complete with a play-within-a-play presented by the laborers to the ecstatic amusement of all.
