\n First, let’s discuss what you will be watching at these breathtaking locations.<\/p>\n

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare’s most terrific tales about Four young lovers who find themselves lost in a magical forest<\/strong>… There is also a Fairy King and Queen fighting<\/strong> for a changeling boy’s possession. Sound gripping right?<\/p>\n

This group of amateur actors will head to the same enchanted forest to rehearse for a play. In this story, humans and fairies collide and the rest is a mystery… Until you get tickets to watch the show that is!<\/p>\n
