WIT + BEAUTY + FOLLY. William Shakespeare’s A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM explores the limbo space of identity. On one night, the veil between worlds is lifted and in the realm of the fay, our masks have the power to free our tongues and hearts. The promotional materials for this Portland Community College production utilize a playful use of typography and the iconic visage of the character, Long Bottom who over the course of the story is transformed into an ass. At its heart, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM is a wild romp—a delicious reverie that invites the audience to enter into a place of beauty, free from the constrictions of society.
