A Midsummer Night's Dream in New Haven

Posted June 20, 2013

This Video Blog offers a behind the scenes look at a new collaboration from the team behind the Tony Award-winning Broadway & West End hit, WAR HORSE.

Shakespeare’s inexhaustible A Midsummer Night’s Dream unfurls in a new adaption interweaving the lives of lovers, actors, friends, foes, and fairies. This is a Dream about love, lust, survival, and song, where a belief in the mystical presence of fairies isn’t mere superstition, but encoded in the routines of a community living on the edge of viability. This is a future primitive world, a hard world, a world of survival and instinct; a world in which, thanks to the magic of Handspring Puppet Company, all objects are granted the right to life.
