Why see A Midsummer Night's Dream In New Orleans?
Shakespeare as you've never seen it before
With it's legendary history steeped in voodoo magic amidst the deliriously humid miasmas of the bayous, what better place to set Shakespeare's fantastical comedy about manipulative faeries, mischievous sprites and the fevers of love, desire and jealousy?

Reviews
Our review
Perfect, hilarious, entertaining
"Linnie Reedman's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in New Orleans swallowed the audience whole and made them complicit in the enthralling revelry and farcical confusion of the bard's deliriously funny play."
