Two pairs of young lovers escape the tyranny of rule and family to enter the earthy unpredictable netherworld of the forest. By twists and turns, the mystical inhabitants play havoc with the four as well as with an unsuspecting theatre troupe, turning everyone's world upside down. Director Sheila Daniels, who staged our award-winning production of "Electra," returns to play with the dark shadows and golden glow of Shakespeare's most popular comedy.
