NUTS Presents: A Midsummer Night's Dream: IN DRAG!

We are pleased to welcome you all to A Midsummer Night's Dream: IN DRAG!!!

In the forests of Athens, tensions run high as magic and mayhem wreak havoc among an ensemble of drag performers. King and Queen of the Fairies hurl curses and insults which change the nature of the characters around them. A troupe of comedy kings struggle to put on a serious play. Friends turn on friends, and trickster sprites revel in the chaos. This staging of Shakespeare's classic comedy brings to life the sensuality and magic of the beloved play by reimagining it with a cast of all drag performers. A love letter to storytelling and queer art forms, A Midsummer Night's Dream: In Drag promises a night of glitz and glamour you will never forget.
