About the Event

Gates open two hours before the show begins. Performances occur on grass; attendees should bring their own blankets as seating is not supplied. Celebrating Shakespeare's most humorous creations, "The Mechanicals" from A Midsummer Nights Dream embark on a whirlwind journey where pantaloons meet Python in Peter Quince Presents: SHAKESPEARE'S BEST BITS. A rollicking adventure guaranteed to have you laughing as the Bards comedic artisansPeter Quince, Snug, Nick Bottom, Francis Flute, Tom Snout and Robin Starvelingguide you through a slick and silly series of blunders and nonsense. In their quest to perform at the Duke's wedding, they turn to Bill's collected works for inspiration. These fools will have you rolling in the grass with laughter as they workshop some of Shakespeares most famous material.
