About the Show

Frog & Peach returns to the Sheen Center with Shakespeare’s beloved romp of romance, wizardry, and show biz.

'A Midsummer Night’s Dream' transports audiences to the palaces of Athens, and the dark, bewitching forests surrounding the kingdom, where the fairy King Oberon and his Queen Titania are waging a deliciously romantic war. With help from the devilish Puck, Oberon casts a spell over his estranged wife, as well as the lovers Hermia, Helena, Lysander, and Demetrius. Meanwhile, as the Mechanicals rehearse their tragically hilarious 'Pyramus & Thisby,' Puck cannot resist transforming the hapless Bottom into a donkey. Will witchcraft spell disaster, or save the day?

Delightful, Entertaining, Refreshing, Clever, Funny

See it if you like Shakespeare and enjoy seeing a classic play done with energy and excitement, creativity and curious choice. Loved the costumes too!

Don't see it if you don't like Shakespeare nor one with less-than-classic production values. The great bard should be played for everyone!.

Great staging, Intelligent, Relevant, Uneven acting

See it if you want to support an enthusiastic company's efforts; you enjoy Shakespeare; you'll enjoy a stripped down version of a classic.

Don't see it if you only enjoy Shakespeare when it's performed by the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) or the equivalent. Read more

Enchanting, Delightful, Entertaining

See it if You like Shakespeare and you enjoy a fairly middle-of-the road, not-very-ambitious take on it.

Don't see it if You're afraid of lions.

Quirky, Beautifully spoken, Strong intentions, Lovely space, Marvelous character actors

See it if you have not seen Midsummer in a while and want to enjoy the beautiful language. This company uses exquisite diction. a few wonderful actors

Don't see it if you want magic and fantasy. Some of the interpretations are just odd. I like that they are definite but disagree with some of the choices

Entertaining, Great acting, Dated, Great writing

See it if you like Shakespeare. It is a different take on a classic

Don't see it if you are looking for lots of scenery changes and if you really dislike Shakespeare.

"A very cute and entertaining production...Benson does an excellent job at bringing this play to life...It is the cast which is easily what makes this particular production worth going to see. Standing out among this talented ensemble is Marcus Watson, who proves to be particularly energetic and versatile in the role of Puck...This was a very playful, colorful, and delightful production of a classic play."
