A Midsummer Night's Dreamier

About

Comedian and writer Alise Morales reimagines Shakespeare’s classic comedy in a chaotic, irreverent new production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream that blends the Bard’s original text with sharp modern punch-ups. Featuring a diverse, gender-bent cast of some of NYC’s funniest character performers, the show lovingly satirizes the original while keeping its heart intact. This production asks important questions like: What if Puck was an aging twink trying to turn his life around, Titania was a washed-up Regina George played by a drag queen, and actual comedians were handed the keys to one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies? The result is a fast-paced, joke-a-minute take on the fairy-filled classic that sends Shakespeare careening into the present.
