A Midsummer Night’s Gay Dream: A Timely New Adaptation
Long Beach Playhouse – Studio Theatre (Long Beach, CA)
Shakespeare’s whimsical comedy of romance, mischief and magic takes on new meaning in Sean F. Gray’s adaptation, which follows two pairs of same-sex lovers into the woods on a midsummer’s night.
