About the Event

A two-hour pre-show gate opening precedes performances held on grass without provided seating; attendees should bring their own blankets to sit upon. The event celebrates Shakespeares most comedic creations, following The Mechanicals from A Midsummer Nights Dream on a whirlwind journey where pantaloons meet Python in Peter Quince Presents: SHAKESPEARES BEST BITS. It is a rollicking romp guaranteed to have you laughing until your sides ache as the Bards mischievous artisansPeter Quince, Snug, Nick Bottom, Francis Flute, Tom Snout, and Robin Starvelingguide you through a slick series of blunders and nonsense while vying for performance at the Dukes wedding. Seeking inspiration from Bills collected works, these fools will have you rolling in the grass with laughter as they workshop some of Shakespeares most famous material.
