About the Show
February 1 - March 23, 2025
by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE; directed by JOSEPH HAJ
On the shortest night of the year, the magical and mortal worlds collide. What could possibly go wrong? Shakespeare gives us a clue: “The course of true love never did run smooth.” In this beloved tale of mischief and merriment, four stories are cleverly woven together: the marriage of the Athenian duke to the Amazon queen; a spat between the fairy king and queen; the follies of four lovers; and the hilarious antics of amateur actors staging a play. When the exhilarating night in the forest finally resolves to (almost) everyone’s satisfaction, a new day of love, joy and reconciliation dawns. Brimming with wit and wisdom, Shakespeare’s most popular play will enchant you.
This Joseph Haj-directed show is the Guthrie’s 8th staging of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Tony Award-winning composer Jack Herrick (The History Plays, Hamlet) returns to the Guthrie stage to perform his original score live during each performance.
This "Relaxed performance" is open to all patrons, but is intentionally modified to accommodate patrons with sensory and vestibular sensitivities, anxiety, dementia, autism spectrum disorders, learning differences or challenges attending the theater.
