Theatre lovers! Pay attetion! Theatre likers! Pay Attention! Hell, EVERYONE! Pay attention. I am here to inform you of new production soon to hit the stage. Marquette University's Helfaer theatre will open its rendition of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" tonight at 7:30!
Student actors and techies will bring Shakespeare's masterpiece to life. Veteran director Maureen Kilmurray is directing. Deb O. a graduate of Yale's world renowned theatre program will be taking care of the scenic and costume design. Deb O. is famous for her work with "found items" that will be sure to bring a contempary twist to the 400 year old play.
There will be shows at 7:30 PM this Thursday-Saturday and again the following weekend. There will also be a 2:30 show during the two sundays. With tickets at only $8, you are definately getting some bang for your buck. Pick up your tickets at the door or on the helfaer's website http://diederich.marquette.edu/COC/Box-Office.aspx
Take a look at what the Helfaer has said about its production: "Spells are cast, lovers are fooled and revelry abounds as worlds collide in Shakespeare's imaginative comedy. On a night when anything can happen, young lovers rouse the mischievous curiosity of fairies, who use their charms to lead them into a playful midnight frolic through the forest. In the midst of it all, a local acting troupe gets caught up in the chaos when a magic spell turns its leading man into a donkey. One of Shakespeare's best known comedies, A Midsummer Night's Dream blurs the line between magic and reality, leading to a night so fantastical that you'll have to dream it to believe it."
