We appreciate your interest in this virtual reading group. Unfortunately, this VRG is full and we are no longer accepting registrations. We invite you to check out our upcoming events here. We hope to see you at a future VRG!
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?
