“I believe that this is the first time the East Troy High School drama club has performed Shakespeare on stage,” director Deb Williamson said. “We chose ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ because it is one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays and one of his easiest for all ages to understand.
“It is full of comedy, action, magic and fun. There are lovers and fairies, royalty and clowns (The Mechanicals). Even if the audience does not understand every single word, they will understand the story and appreciate the beauty of the language.”
