NYT’s inaugural venture into Shakespearean productions opens with one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies.
Set in Athens and its enchanted forest, four young lovers are entangled in a web of romantic complications, alongside the mischievous interference of Oberon, the fairy king, and his servant, Puck. As the lovers flee to the forest to escape their societal constraints, their paths intersect with a group of amateur actors preparing a play. Amidst magical mishaps and comedic misunderstandings, themes of love, imagination, and the unpredictable nature of fate unfold.
