San Leandro High Drama Department Presents 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'

The show opens at the San Leandro Performing Arts Center on October 31.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy play by William Shakespeare, written between 1590 and 1596. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens,Theseus, and Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (mechanicals), who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare’s most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world.

Directed by John Sheridan, this is the first time a Shakespearean plan has been performed at San Leandro High School.
