Summer 2010 Torchlight Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream

Coming to a park near you this July & August. (Click here for schedule) Shows start at 7pm.

This lively comedy will "snap crackle and pop with energy" says director AL Connors, as true love finds it’s way- helped along by fairy dust, the mischievous Puck, and dare we say it? – an ass.

A Midsummer Night's Dream has all the Fooling around you expect from the Company of Fools. The talented cast pulls Shakespeare’s first true comedy into the present time with a perfect mixture of physical energy, silliness and fun making it a delight for audiences of all ages. This is Shakespeare the way you wish you learned it in high school!

This year's production features Richard Gélinas, Stephanie Iszak, Cari Leslie, Brad Long, Katie Ryerson and David Whiteley, with AL Connors directing.

Plan to gather a group of friends together to experience A Midsummer Night's Dream on a summer’s eve. What could be more perfect?

Performances are 90 minutes in length with no intermission. Tickets are “pass-the-hat-and-pay-what-you-can” ($10 suggested.) Please remember to bring a blanket or lawn chair or to sit on.

About The Fools

A Company of Fools has been delighting audiences all across Canada since 1990 (see: History). Inspired by the rogue Elizabethan players that once entertained audiences outdoors and at the Globe theatre, we have built a reputation as a highly physical troupe doing interactive shows indoors and out. The Fools mount two shows a year, plus perform at numerous festivals, in schools, and at corporate events. Our award winning shows have performed all across Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver to Yellowknife.
