Filled with romantic entanglements, supernatural mischief, and comedic confusion, A Midsummer Night’s Dream follows four young lovers and a troupe of amateur actors who stray into an enchanted forest ruled by whimsical fairies. The Rustic Mechanicals’ dynamic, fast-paced staging brings Shakespeare’s celebrated language to life through energetic physical comedy and accessible storytelling.
"Supporting student artists and student theatre across West Virginia is a cornerstone of our tour," said Jason A. Young, Producing Artistic Director of The Rustic Mechanicals. "Partnering with Spring Mills High School to welcome Berkeley County’s inducted Thespians for free allows us to honor their commitment to the craft while bringing an engaging evening of classical theatre to the Martinsburg community."
