Hovey Players Presents:
A Midsummer Night's Dream

By William Shakespeare

Directed by Michelle M. Aguillon

Lysander loves Hermia, and Hermia loves Lysander. Sounds simple enough? In this most beloved of Shakespeare’s comedies nothing is quite that simple.

Helena loves Demetrius; Demetrius used to love Helena but now loves Hermia. Hermia's father prefers Demetrius as a suitor and enlists the aid of Theseus, the Duke of Athens. Hermia, given four days to choose between Demetrius, life in a nunnery, or worse, chooses none of the above and escapes with Lysander into the surrounding forest. Where, in typical Shakespearean tradition, complications ensue.
