A Midsummer Night’s Dream Set in the Roaring Twenties
Azusa Pacific University Warehouse Theater (Azusa, CA)
Azusa Pacific’s Department of Theater Arts takes Shakespeare’s classic fairy tale and spiffs it up with a Roaring Twenties theme, with plenty of comedy and adventure in the mix. The story follows four young lovers into the jungle where they become the unwitting victims in a lover’s quarrel between the king and queen of faeries. When a group of local rustics rehearsing a play there also gets caught up in the madness, the comical snarl of spells seems impossible to sort out. But with fairies and sprites all around, it just takes a little more magic and, as Puck puts it, “all is mended.”
