Tickets for HS Fall Production; A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Info & Tickets Available here: https://pages.aischennai.org/theater/hs/
HS Fall Production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare! A co-production with the Gender and Sexuality Alliance club, this comedic play portrays love as a blind, irrational, often beautiful force that can be both cruel and forgiving. Four lovers, Hermia & Lysandra and Helena & Demetrius, run away to the forest only to have Puck the fairy make two of the lovers fall in love with the same person. The four run through the forest pursuing each other while Puck helps his master Oberon play a trick on the fairy queen, Titania. Meanwhile, a group of crude tradesmen rehearse to perform the show of a lifetime to the duke.
There will also be an exhibition mounted outside the Theatre on the evenings of the show, curated by the GSA.
