'Boundlessly imaginative, visually poetic, joyfully queer, anarchically playful with the text, somebody give this team space to tear up more Shakespeares!”
- Naomi Kuyck-Cohen
Performed outdoors by three actors, Helikon Theatre Company breathes life into a riotous new queering of Shakespeare’s treasured classic. Perfect for our time, the dream asks us to imagine a world that’s broken open by a bumpy night in the forest, where anarchy rules and chaos makes us re-examine the natural order of things.
When the night ends and we return from the forest, can we really go back to normal?
