2009 Bottle Tree Productions Season
A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's most accessible plays to actors and audiences alike. A romantic comedy and magical fantasy all rolled into one, with the piece de resistance being the hilariously bad play within a play, which closes the festivities off. A young dynamic cast makes this a must see for families.
