Toil and Trouble: Shakespeare's Haunted Stage

About this event

Meeting Room 1, Meeting Room 2. Ghosts, witches, and things that go bump in the night--Shakespeare's plays are filled with the supernatural. Join theatre artist Michael Langlois for an engaging, performance-based presentation exploring how Shakespeare used ghosts, magic, and the unknown to entertain audiences while revealing timeless truths about human nature. Travel from the enchanted forest of A Midsummer Night's Dream to the haunted castle of Hamlet, the witches of Macbeth, and the stormy world of King Lear as Michael brings these unforgettable scenes to life through performance and storytelling. No prior knowledge of Shakespeare is needed—just a curiosity about the strange, the mysterious, and the enduring power of great stories. Michael Langlois is a theatre artist, director, actor, and lecturer with decades of experience in performance and arts education. He has directed productions throughout New England, served for 20 years as Artistic Director of Ashford Youth Theatre, and lectures on Shakespeare, history, and the power of storytelling for audiences across the country.
