SAN MATEO: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

  • San Mateo Library 55 West 3rd Avenue San Mateo, CA, 94402 United States (map)

San Francisco Shakespeare Festival’s Shakespeare on Tour comes to the San Mateo Public Library with our production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  Admission is free and no tickets are required.  People of all ages will find this quintessential comedy engaging as well as enriching. Mixed-up lovers, sparring fairies, and bumbling actors all collide in a confluence of comedy and conflict that will have you laughing out loud.  A Midsummer Night’s Dream cushions impactful themes of human existence in word-play and physical comedy, leaving room for further learning while delighting and energizing. Plus, walk-on roles for volunteers will invite attendees to join in the fun.  Our production, a one-hour version thoughtfully cut from Shakespeare’s original texts, travels to you with a cast of professional actors with costumes, set, props, and sound. At the conclusion of the show the cast will stay for a short Q&A session with the audience.
