A Midsummer Night's Dream: Summer of Love Edition


  • Do It With Class Young People's Theatre 611 Park Street Regina, SK, S4N 5B2 Canada (map)

Step into the groovy world of 1969, where flower power blooms, music is magic, and love is more tangled than a beaded curtain.

In this psychedelic spin on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the story unfolds at the edge of a sprawling music festival in the enchanted forest of Athens, Georgia (not Greece). Young lovers run away from authority to find freedom and each other, only to get caught up in a wild, magical trip — literally.

The mischievous fairy Puck, now a tie-dye-clad trickster with a guitar and a mind full of mayhem, stirs up romantic chaos with a love potion gone wrong. Meanwhile, a band of wannabe rockstars (the "mechanicals") rehearse their far-out play for a counterculture wedding, not realizing that the forest is alive with magic, music, and mischief.

At the heart of it all are Oberon and Titania, the groovy king and queen of the fairies, whose cosmic feud throws the natural world into disorder. Peace, love, and misunderstanding collide in a kaleidoscope of color, sound, and starlight — until harmony is restored with a little help from the fairies and a lot of forgiveness.

With bell bottoms, flower crowns, and a whole lot of heart, this vibrant adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream brings Shakespeare's timeless comedy into the technicolor dream of the Summer of Love.
