A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a perfect play to use for a VRG at the beginning of summer. The woods where the events of the play take place are filled with endlessly fickle pairs of human lovers, a set of amateur actors trying to rehearse a play, and a troupe of fairies who are busy with their own politics--but not too busy to make endless trouble for the humans, But is the play just a light confection? Or are there lessons to be learned here about fidelity, kindness, and the power of art?
