To inaugurate the opening of Theatre for a New Audience at Polonsky Shakespeare Center in Brooklyn, Julie Taymor will direct A Midsummer Night's Dream. For the Shakespeare Society's second Major Evening Event of the season, Midsummer cast members David Harewood, Tina Benko and Max Casella will join Oxford professor Jonathan Bate, author of The Soul of the Age and The Genius of Shakespeare, for an evening devoted to the follies, confusion and ultimate "constancy" of love, imagination and art in one of Shakespeare's most luminous comedies. Come with the lovers, the fairies and the hard handed men of Athens into the woods and back again!
