the falls theatre at union arts center | 700 union st

Shakespeare’s most popular comedy pulls us once again into the magic of the night. Four young lovers flee pristine Athens in pursuit of freedom, but stepping into the forest means chaos: mismatched couples, love potions, faeries, and a donkey…but what happens when morning comes?

“Go have fun.”
The Seattle Times

“A lovely set by Parmida Ziaei…we were dropped into the wilderness where faeries live.”

British Theatre Guide

“There is something sacred about sitting in a dark theatre, watching real humans breathe life into a story that is hundreds of years old.”
