Shakespeare on the Common: A Midsummer Night's Dream

Yes, not a movie, but movie adjacent. Pretend you are in the past for a night. Shakespeare on the Common: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Pre-Show CommonStage Performance at 6PM) I don’t know what the preshow is, but I will be there to find out. Young lovers escape to a wonderland of freedom and desire, drawn together and torn apart by forces they can’t quite control in Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s 30th Anniversary production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Shakespeare’s classic comedy is transported to a neon-lit festival escape, where rules dissolve and self-expression blossoms. The air pulses with music, mystery, and mischief as Puck (The Skivvies' Nick Cearley) and his fairy band move like shadowy DJs of fate, remixing hearts with a single drop of enchanted nectar. Every corner of the festival grounds hums with temptation, transformation, and the electric thrill of love and community. Directed by CSC Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler Free, seating first come, first serve. Harpoon will apparently be selling beer for the performance. Bring chairs, blankets, food, sunblock, insect repellent and sweatshirts as desired. I hope to see you there.
