AFTER the worst pandemic years, in which we were not sure whether we were awake or asleep, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream might just be the play we should treat ourselves to, to assure us that this semi-wakeful state can be – at least for two-and-a-half hours – a contrastingly enchanting experience.
The 427-year-old play is the most popular of all the Bard’s works, staged more frequently than even Romeo & Juliet. It is rife with moonbeams and magic, as it tells a dreamlike story of mischievous fairies, love potions, mismatched suitors and human-animal transformations in an enchanted forest.
As part of Singapore Repertory Theatre’s Shakespeare In The Park series, the production will be mounted on an open-air stage in Fort Canning Park, amplifying the story’s already lush and verdant setting. It is the first Shakespeare In The Park production since 2018’s Julius Caesar.
