“Lord what fools these mortals be!” – III.ii So says Puck, the mischievous fairy, in this most popular of Shakespeare’s comedies. When the feuding king and queen of the fairies interfere in the couplings of mortals, the result is bedlam. A tale of lovers, heroes, fairies and rustic would-be actors is Shakespeare’s tribute to the power of imagination and love in all its guises. Come join us as we perform outside under a canopy of trees on Rice’s beautiful campus.
