TAM Midsummers Night Dream

Mischief and Mayhem reign in Theater at Monmouth’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. William Shakespeare’s magical comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream opens at Theater at Monmouth Friday, July 23 at 7:30 p.m. One of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream follows the journey of four young lovers as they find their way through the forest and to each other. But as
Lysander says “the course of true love never did run smooth.” Full of madcap chases and mistaken identities, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is an exploration of the mystery and madness of love.

Magic and laughter are on the loose in the woods outside Athens in Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy! The fairy king and queen are at war, court and commoners alike prepare for Theseus and
Hippolyta’s nuptials, and Puck stirs the pot leading two pairs of lovers on a wild and wacky chase in search of true romance.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream features Josh Carpenter as Theseus/ Oberon; Nisi Sturgis as Hippolyta/ Titania; Andy Blaustein as Philostrate/ Robin Goodfellow (Puck); Jordan Coughtry as Starveling/ Moon; Erica Murphy as Hermia; Leighton Samuels as Lysander; Michael Dix Thomas as Demetrius; Olivia Williamson as Helena; Mark S. Cartier as Peter Quince; Marlowe Holden as Mustardseed/ Lion; Bill Van Horn as Bottom/ Pyramus; Alan Estes as Peaseblossom/ Thisbe; John Logan as Snout/ Cobweb/ Wall; Anna Doyle as First Fairy/ Mote, and Isabella Coulombe as Fairy. Set design by Jim
Alexander, costumes by Elizabeth Rocha, lights by Stephen Jones, and sound by Rew Tippin.
